Setup question for Ca Rx owners
Although I won't need to operate my Geo Ca Rx for some time on my new 150 I wanted to get it plumbed & the electrical run to my main panel while setting up the system. So here's my question:
I know the plug for the solenoid valve needs to be connected to my computer but what about the feed pump & stirring pumps? I assume the feed pump should be connected to the computer to dose Ca when needed (?) but what about the stirring pump? Does that run continously?

Both the feed pump and the mixing pump will both always run continuously. You will just have something like a needle valve on the end of your tubing that drips into the sump that you can adjust the drip rate. I have an Eheim pump on my Geo and a maxi jet as the feed pump. Both always run. So in essence, the pumps can be plugged in anywhere as long as they are constant on. The solenoid is the only thing needed to be on a controller to cut on and off.
