LiterMeterIII and dosing 2-Part Cac/Alk
 

Hi, I have a litermeter III and would like to start dosing 2 part calcium/alkalinity supplements with it to automate my daily dosing process.

I have the standard model which I used to use for dosing limewater. Would I need to order another pump in order to dose the 2-part?

Also, are you aware of any containers that are available to put the 2 part solutions in that you use with the litermeter111?

Thanks for the help.

You have to buy a second remote pump if you want to dose 2 part with the LMIII. As for the container to hold the 2 part. Any food grade container should do I guess. As long as you have a lid to seal it off.

Is it worth the money at $160 for the second pump? I can't beleive what these things go for. The LitermeterIII was $300 without the second pump. Are they super accurate and would you trust one not to get you out of balance by dosing more of one part then the other?

Thanks

You could sell the litermeter and get one of these....

I have the LMIII, and I agree it's not a cheap option. I've been very happy with mine so far, but I use mine for top off.

That is a great idea and I may do just that.

Thanks!!

What do you do if you need to dose more of one part than the other? Will this unit do that? It looks like it will only dose both the same.

That's correct. But 2 part dosing systems are designed to add equal amounts of calcium and alkalinity. If for some reason you wanted to add more of one than the other, you could just dilute one of the solutions to the desired ratio.

I found a LM3 external pump here for $104.
