kalk drip
what is the easiest/cheapest way to have a kalk drip. I don't want an auto top off system, because I don't have enough room to keep the 4 gallons a day of top off water that I need. I would like to have about a 2 gallon kalk drip system w/ no float valves or anything like that just a slow drip. Then i will dump the rest of the top off water in another time during the day.

The problem i had with any kind of emmiter was clogging and the need to stir kalkwasser often. Example would be the kent dosser, the kalk would percipitate out and collect on the bottem of the container. clogging everything on its way down. I will keep a eye on this thread, i have never sucessfull dosed kalkwasser with out the help of a stirrer.
