DDR Fix vs Recommended Dosing Container?

[themcfreak]

Hello all. I have a DOS and DDR combo I use to dose alkalinity and calcium. I have had to have the DDR serviced twice because the salt creep travels into the PCB chamber, so was curious if people have come up with ways to prevent this? If not, what dosing containers are people using? I would prefer something that allows for some optical sensors (easily). In that regard, can acrylic be drilled if I wanted/needed to drill the optical sensor through the side instead of dropping the cable down? Thanks!

this is what i'm using for dosing containers https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/space-saver-jug-thin-4-liter-1-05-gallon.html i haven't added sensors yet but it should be very easy to do. i didn't have room for the large ddr, and I wasn't going to pay $200 for a dosing reservoir.

Some solutions could be to:
make sure you don't fully fill the chambers
move the PCB higher
fille the pcb compartment with some dielectric, maybe dielectric grease

I gave up on using mine and went with the larger containers Biglew11 is talking about. I picked them up on amazon for $11 a pair.
