Aqua Medic KS 1000 Mode D'emploi page 7

Control:
We recommend to operate the Kalkwasserstirrer together with the electronic level control Aqua Medic aquaniveau
or the Niveaumat. If water evaporates in the aquarium, it is replaced from the reservoir via the
Kalkwasserreaktor.
If the level control is coupled with a time switch, the dosing of the Kalkwasser can be restricted to the night time.
It is also possible to run the reactor only with a time switch. To do this, you have to check firstly how much water
evaporates per day and how long the pump in the reservoir needs to replace it. To avoid flooding, you should
calculate a safety reserve and replace only two third of the evaporated water with Kalkwasser. This time is adjusted
at the time switch. It is also possible to dose in several intervals to avoid a pH increase. It's ideal if you add the
Kalkwasser during the night when the pH in the aquarium drops.

4. Set up and first operation
The Aqua Medic Kalkwasserstirrer has 2 connections for flexible hoses 6/4 mm (¼") and (½"). The first connection,
the water inlet (7), is connected with the feed pump.
The second connection is the water outlet back to the aquarium (9). The end of the outlet tube should not be
submerged because it might clog in this case and the flow stops. In any case, the outlet hose must be lower than
the outlet of the KS 1000 (without pressure)!!!
