Magnum 350 turned kalkreactor

Post by flricordia »

Stupid I know but is working at least till I can get a decient one built.
I pulled all the guts out of a shelved 350 Magnum but left the impeller in. I dumped a bunch of kalkwasser in it the other day, turned it on for a few seconds and let it rattle and whir till it churned up the solution. Connected a hose to the Maxijet in a 5gl bucket of RO/DI water and the other hose into the sump. When the water level gets low the ATO turns the pump on and water flows through the saturated solution in the Mag 350 till shut down. The Mag 350 I turn on to restir in morning and after noon for a few seconds.
So far the impeller hasn't locked up and seems to be working OK. I probably don't even need to turn the Mag350 on as the maxijet pumping water through mixes the bollom up a little, not much but I think enough to resaturate the water. I will keep an eye on it.
