    Hey John,
    Looks great! How much evap occurs until the unit comes on to refill? Also what is the model # of the Tunze unit? I am using a Tsunami auto top-off now but would like a little more adjustability.
    Thanks, Scott

    I wound say that my water level in my sump drops approximately 1/4" and then the pump turns on and refills it. I have only had it hooked up for about a day now so I am not that sure yet to be honest  ;D.................  John

    Matt I am thinking about adding the Osmolator Calcium Dispenser to my top off system and If I am not mistaken you have this on yours Correct? :-/ If so I was wondering how it was working for you ;).............. John

    Hey Fletch glad to see you set up the topup system. I bought the same set up as Matt after seeing his. The Kalk doser is great. Despite feeling I spent way too much money on a bottle with 2 holes in it. I works so that the pump for the top off never gets Kalked up. So the pump is in the RO/DI water then pushes water through a one way valve and into the Kalk Bottle then into the tank.
    It works great and very low maintenance. I think your able to get more kalk and less precipitate but that could be the result of better Kalk that comes with the doser.
    I'm sure you could DIY the same thing but that would void Tunze warranty on the Top Off. If you want to try the DIY thing let me know and I'll take some Detailed pics for you.
