Non-continuous doser for kalk??

[Derrick0580]

Can someone please explain to me how to use a non-continuous dosing pump to dose kalk all day long. Currently I am using a versa, however in less than a year I have been through 3 versas and do not trust them. I’m not wanting to shell out $300+ for the kamoer so what kind of programming does a doser that can dose say 24x’s a day require??

May have found my answer, can someone correct me of I am wrong? Say I go with a 24x a day doser and I am currently dosing 800 ml a day, split up into 4 chunks with the stirrer kicking on in between, I basically take 800/24 comes out to 33 1/3 ml per hour. Now do the standard kamoers just kick on and dump 33ml in all at once or can it kick on 24 times a day and spread the 33ml out over the entire hour?

I use the brs pump controlled by apex to dose. I have it programmed to pump for 3 seconds every hour.

Does the single shot of kalk once an hour make any difference or pose any risk over slowly dripping 200ml over 4 hours before I stop it so the stirrer can mix and then let it settle for 2 hours before resuming pump drip. Buddy of mine swears by continuous pumps and tells me a timed pump will cause spikes.

Mine is split into 12 doses a day, it’s fine.
