Is anyone using their tunze 3155 to top off with kalkwasser?
Do you have any issues like it adding too much too fast?

You can use it, but, you do need to use a kalk reactor after the pump
Can you not hook up any type of voltage compatible pump to the wires on the Tunze? That little pump that comes with it does not seem to be that tough.
I kind of have to kind of disagree with some of the other replies. Kalk is much more effective if you use a reactor. This is sometimes called a Nilson Reactor. The reactor keeps the CO2 in the air away from the kalkwasser in the reactor. If you simply use a bucket, it will work, but is much less effective.
Also, it's much better to use the top off pump to feed the reactor and then feed the reactor to the sump or overflow. This keeps the pump out of the kalk.
