I use a Tunze Kalk dispenser with the Osmolator. Works great and a good combination.

Litermeter lll pumping water into a 6 gallon bucket. Timer turns on a small powerhead in the bucket 4x per day for 60 seconds. Bulkhead about 3" from the top of the bucket overflows into the sump. About 4 gallons per day and I dump in lime once per week.

Well…. Since nobody wants to post pics I’ll offer some up.
This is my new Kalk setup. It’s pretty bold because it is being fed from an auto top-off directly from the RO/DI unit. So far its working great. I just need to get the mixer on a timer.
