You said not to use the other one for kalk top off.I still haven't had an incident yet.I did however place a float valve for that one.This one here works fine.I ran it for 2 years without any problems.I never had this model overdose on me once.Plus it goes on every few hours or so for 30 seconds.I will play around with it in a few days once I see what my levels are at.Jnarowe I think you are a little to paranoid.

Congrats on the split Steve... I was thinking of using two aqualifters. figuring out how long it takes one to replace 6 hours of evap and then putting them on alternating digital timers. What do you think? And you to Jonathan.

Ok... now I get it. Were talking in two threads... Huh? What if I wanted to come after christmas? I am taking the whole week off and I'm kind of booked prior. But, I understand if you are booked after.

this one worked for me.My 2 bottles are lower than my doser plus I have the check valve on it(not that it makes a diff) I hooked of a float switch to mine (kalk top off) there are some better units if price is a problem I think two part solutions has some inexpensive models

there's actually a decent doser on the 2-part site. Notice it has 4 rollers.

so I am still biding for the tunze pump with the single controller($113 U.S.) witch to me is a great deal if I can get it and nobody outbids me.I still have to go to the states to pick it up.I will probably go during New Years I will see.My cousins wife isn't feeling to good and she is very stressed so I may ask her to mail it to me and say its a gift.I will see.I went to the LFS today and they will receive a shipment on friday so I may go check out what they get.I know I keep running up debt I am nuts.I will probably ask my lod boss for my job back.(I am getting very bored at home)

I know how you feel sitting around doing nothing.

Are you looking for a job, considering the cost of this hobby? I need a better job, Oh yeah just got one Put in an invoice yesterday and got paid today, Gotta love that. Too bad I'm not generous and buy you a calcium reactor though ah

Hows the tank going by the way. I would stick to the 2 part dosing system untill you can afford to but a calcium reactor. I'm betting you not working isn't easy on your better half.

Hey Dorthy I did some work at my in laws place so I was there most of yesterday,last night and today.Had a problem with a window.It was brand new and it broke during a very cold snowy day(bad install) so the radiant heater froze(old cast iron) it cracked and when the temp got a bit warmer the rad started to leak.Last night tried to get the janitor to close the water and shut down the heat to fix it but the bas tard wouldn't answer the door.So today I fixed the problem and everyone is happy.Its a good thing I worked as a plumber.I have another job offer(possibly in plumbing) I was HD and started talking to a renovation guy (who does everything) and I mentioned I am not working so I will call him.

around here, you can barely get a plumber to show up. I have several as customers and when I had a leak, even the one I was buddy-buddy with wouldn't come by. I offered him a case of beer as a bribe, and he just laughed. Here it seems, they just work enough to pay for going fishing.
