can i hook it up to a kalk reacor and have it come on and off at diffrent times or does it just figure out when it needs to come on, i just didnt know when do i mix the calk and i have toi let it set before dosing or does it matter if it is mixxing and dosing at the same time

Never mix and dose at the same time! Youll be delivering any impurities that might be available in the solution... You should mix right before lights off when the Ph is at its highest and dose during the night to stabilize Ph. Mix for 15 or so minutes and let settle for a minimum of two hours. When yor Ph begins to drop during the night, thats when its time to recharge your reactor. I can help you with kalk dosing issues, Im just not familiar woth the Litermeter system.

i just want to make sure this liter meter will do it, because reading the book it sounds like it runss during the day and comes on and off at diffrent times to dose, you dont set a specific time and that is waht is scaring me,

It should be controlled by a float switch of some kind, I know Litermeter has one available. Thats the only sure way to prevent a flood, it needs to dose according to evaporation....
