I have the Tunze kalk reactor. It's made to work with the Osmolator. Osmolator water enters the bottom of the chamber and stirs the kalk. Works well for me.

I have the Tunze Osmolator feeding a Tunze Calcium container on one tank and it works fine. Just needs filling more often

On my 90 I have a Tunze Osmolator feeding a Geo Kalk reactor and it works fine on it also. No problems and lasts much longer between refills of Kalk

The osmolator (control unit not in pic) has its pump in my top-off container which in turn feeds my Kalk reactor(unit on left). Water from the Kalk reactor feeds into my tank. Easy to hook up with any of the Kalk units as the Osmolator controller does most of it..

I have exactly this setup. I send the output of the osmolator pump to my DIY kalk reactor. The pump mixes the kalk (just like the tunze kalk dispenser) and then the kalkwasser runs to my sump. Works really well.
