Having some trouble figuring out how one would set up a kalk stirrer below the sump. It seems all? of the stirrers out there are configured as inline with the ATO and depend on overflow/gravity drainage into the sump. In my setup, I would need to have it below the sump but can’t figure out what the best way of setting this up would be. Overflow into another container and a second dose pump pulling from this overflow container into the tank? Seems overly complicated
 
Are you saying the reactor is too tall for the sump? I attached a tube to the outlet and it drips into my return chamber. I also wouldn’t trust using an ATO to dose it as evaporation rates vary.
 
The top of a kalk stirrer needs to be higher than the sump to function properly.
Ya.. is there no way around this?
thats going to be tough with my setup

Trying to see maybe there’s a way with multiple dosing pumps and extra reservoirs ?
 
I think the GEO kalk reactor is a pressurized reactor that would work. There might be other brands also.
