Re: Calcium Reactor Vs. Kalkwasser

Well if your getting salt creep on a nilsen reactor then you are obviously doing somethign seriously wrong.

All water going in and out of of a Nilsen reactor should be RO/DI and used as part of an Auto Top off system.

I don't know anyone who mixes Kalk with Saltwater, but hey maybe I'm in the dark.

To answer your questions I have three MRC products and they are all top notch.

Re: Calcium Reactor Vs. Kalkwasser

Ill be using a geo 618 calcium reactor with controller. oh did i mention i also have a kalwasser reactor. just thought id throw it in for what it is worth. may never need it but have it if i do. my 1st choice would be the Kalkwasser for small sytems under 100 gal of actual water volume and a calcium reactor for larger systems.
