How do I dose kalkwasser without dripping with pump

[anthony1222]

I have a kamoer f1 dosing pump that can't continuously drip. Can I dose kalkwasser by the hour without any PH spikes?

I dose 40 ml per hour. And in another tank I have half strength kalk in my ato.

You'll get some tiny pH bumps, but they are of no/little consequence. Mine is dosed hourly.

Do hourly doses. you'll be fine.

Or

Put it in your ATO. Put a timer on your ATO to limit it Incase it gets stuck on.

IE (depending on tank size) 4 times a day for 30 seconds or whatever you need to stay topped off but safe from a kalk overdose caused by a run away sensor or lump. It's a bit hard on pumps though. So you'll make sure you want to clean your ATO pump occasionally if you go this path

If you have a larger system where this isn’t enough - you might want to consider switching to Sodium Hydroxide instead.
It can be made far more potent than Kalk, solving the evaporation limitation as well.
