    I am settint up my kalk reactor KS100 (aqua medic)and milwalkee PH,ORP controler,I also have a tuzunes auto top off 5017,
    should the ph monitor turn on the reactor or should it turn it off .
    when the ph is to hi or low.
    also the stirring of the device, does anyone have a good suggestion as to when/how often should this be activated, does it matter if its stirring well the system is dosing ?
    also my evaporation is very random as the daily weather here changes so much

    Personally have never used a reactor, but I would not stir while dosing. This will cause you to push kalk powder to your tank. It would also be in my opinion that you turn off the reactor if you PH goes to high. Now I currently use kalk water as my topoff and do not have any issues turning the weather changes. Sure someone with a little more experience might be able to give you better direction on how to exactly setup the kalk reactor.
