This product is no longer manufactured. Spare parts can still be ordered at any time.
The current replacement type is the KWR100-50.

High efficiency lime water reactor system with rigid circulation pump for intensive mixing of the lime milk. Because of the extreme high load of calcium hydroxide an operation without maintenance is possible up to some months.

Advantages over other lime mixers:

intensive mixing ot the suspension
free outlet enables a safe operation: check valve or adjustment devices are installed at the inlet and will not scale
continuous or discontinuous operation
sizes for all aquaria available
extrem high load capacity of calcium hydroxide
refill intervals up to some months
and of course

Required accessories:

feed with reverse osmosis water or very soft water

Inside of the reactor KWR a rigid circulation pump realizes that the suspension (mixture) of water and calcium hydroxide powder is in abeyance. Above this white lime milk there is the clear lime water solution. The incoming reverse osmosis water (or very soft water) reacts inside of the KWR immediately with calcium hydroxide, that flows into the aquarium.

The aquarium water is enriched with calcium ions. Because of the very high pH value of the lime water (12-13) the pH of the aquarium water is slightly lifted. At the drip-in point of the lime water precipitation occures. The forming hydroxylapatite entrains phosphate. So the phosphate concentration in the aquarium water is reduced (phosphate precipitation).

Calcium Hydroxide solution („Kalkwasser“) is a strong alkaline substance. Children should never reach the powder nor the solution. At contact with eyes or skin flush with much water and go to the doctor (take the label of the Calcium Hydroxide with you).
