You don't have to buy two more, just 1...as far as I know 2 part additives can be diluted down. Just have 2 reservoirs filled with RO/DI water as your topoff. Add Part 1 to one reservoir, and Part 2 to the other. Set each pump to the same volume per day (which would be half your evaporation rate each) and you're done.

One disadvantage to the above approach: You evaporation rate is most likely going to vary considerably given changes in humidity and temperature. That being the case, the amount of calcium and alk ( & PH ) that you are dosing is going to vary in lockstep. I have this issue currently with my kalk dosing.

It may be advantageous to be able to vary the top off on one pump while remaining consistent with your two part dosing on separate pumps.

Im considering getting another pump to address the above issue. I may put the top off on a top off module so that I'm not forced to adjust the dose rate with the temp and humidity.

Good points. I have the luxury of a pretty consistent evap rate, so I hadn't considered that.

Just opened the box a minute ago! Unit looks really nice, and is more compact than I thought it would be.

For those of you that mounted the unit... whats the easiest way to go about doing that - I have plaster walls.

Thanks,
Jon
