Hi!
After reading few posts and some research I finally built my reactor, see photo bellow. I am not very good in DIY stuff, so yes you may laugh :D . After a bit of thinking about auto injector on float switch or similar systems I read about I decided for something else. Here is a brief description. Using needle valve (or other valve with some precision control) I will be dripping output from my kalk reactor to match my evap. rate. It shouldn't be a problem since my evap. is about 1.5gal a day and the valve I have now can do easily about drop/5 sec. RO/DI water will be constantly pushed to the reactor from my storage container creating constant pressure to keep drip rate stable. I done some tests during the day to monitor how My MaxiJet 1200 performs under constant pressure pump attached to needle valve. I am very pleased with test results. I monitored the drop rate using measuring cup and it was pretty constant. Please let me know your thoughts :oops: .
Thanks.

Looks good! Have you considered a simple dosing pump on the input side? Might make things easier in the long run.
