Hello reefers , I want to hear your opinion:
which is bette - pull or push method , at calcium reactor ?
I know that each method has its pros and cons .
For the pull method , It's just pulling water through the reactor with Kamoer FXTP pump.

for the push method , It's just pushing water through the reactor with power head or DC pump.

the reactor is GEO 618 .

what is your favorite method ?

I use a cheap dosing pump for my kalkwasser, but if I had to choose one of the methods you mention, I'd go for push because it means the pump only has to handle water, and not the solute which will cause blockages over time, increasing pump wear and maintenance.
