Hi. I was wondering if @AVAST Marine had any tips to prevent the outlet kalk line on the k2 stirrer from clogging up. Thanks.

Best practice is to place a 6-8" long section of 1/2" ID tubing on the outlet angled down toward the water but not touching it. You can also plug the anti siphon hole at the top of the inside elbow, that will allow about 3oz of kalkwasser to dose at once.

OK. Thank you.
