I assume the magnetic stirrer comes in various sizes, what size is the one you are using? very well done and am planning to do the same thing, just looking to answer a fiew ? before i start.

I use a 2 inch stir bar. I think a 2.5 inch bar would fit though. The canister is 3 inches in diameter. The reason for the drain plate to have holes is to keep the kalk from settling and hardening on the plate. If I add too much Kalk then the stirbar seems to get stuck. But if I add just enough to keep the kalk below the plate then it does not get stuck. Maybe if you used a 2.5" stir bar then it would stir settled kalk on top of the plate.
