Geo Kalk Reactor Help.

[2Flash1]

I was gifted a Kalk Reactor (Geo) it’s about 15 plus yrs old.

I’m in the middle of ordering new seals and parts.
I DO NOT like the idea it uses a Maxi Jet as seems like it’s not a good seal as well and it’s already leaking is there a more permanent solution?
Unless I can add silicone to make a better seal. For service would suck when I need to change or clean out impeller.

I run a Geo Kalk reactor and can hopefully offer some input. Can you show me some pics, please? Here's mine and the pump:

Pardon the craziness and the mess.

Maybe, with a little creative plumbing, we can upgrade your pump.

You were the tag I was going to tag.

As mentioned, a picture of the pump and setup would help. As a collective, we can hopefully find a pump that is better in fit and performance.

I contact Geo Reef and he/she was not helpful at all.
I was thinking to use rig up

What do you all think?

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the Uni Seals? Or has anyone changed them out?

Uniseals work just fine for this application and are easy to swap out.

As for the pump, that is way too powerful. I would go with this:

That above pump will work like a closed loop?
I need something that will stir the Kalk up…

Looks like yes it will…

I wouldn't steer you wrong.

Thanks. I’ll get parts ordered up in a few.

Keep us posted, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need a hand with the plumbing.
