Liter MeterIII ?????

rholguin · 05/23/2010, 05:15 PM

This is probably a dumb question but can I use this doser to do both my calcium and alk dosing or can it just do one? Also those of that use use it how happy are you with yours? Thanks.

To dose any two-part you'll need an expansion pump. I believe it's about a $180 add on.

I don't actually have any experience with the Litermeter. I know many like them, however I went with a Profilux. Check them out too!

I love my Liter Meter III (been using it for over 5 years with no issues at all). It comes with a single pump but can also control up to 2 additional "remote" pumps (sold separately). I have mine pushing RO through kalk reactor, dosing Alk, and dosing Ca. The RO kalk reactor control has a float switch for backup which would cut power to the pump (also an option through Spectrapure - check out their website for more info) in the unlikely event that the pump got stuck in "on" position (has never happened in past). Overall, although a bit pricey, I love this piece of equipment. Highly, highly, recommended.

I have a liter meter III, and I have had no bad issues with it. I agree with that post, they are expensive, but very good.
