Kent Aqua Dose Questions:

[StrikeThree]

Hi - Im considering a 5 gal kent Aquadose for my top-off/kalk dosing for my 40 gal. Questions are:

1. How long is the line from the unit ? I would put it in a closet which is about 8 feet away. Possible ?

2. How accurate is the drip ? Can you set it and forget it?

3. Does anyone have the dimensions for the 5 gal unit ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated -

Thanks,

Brian

They'll clog up in no time. IMHO they aren't worth spending money on.

Hey Brian,
For what is worth, I have the smaller Kent doser. I think it holds 2 liters.
It came with a 4 foot line. It doesn't clog up very much. I set the drip to 2 or 3 drops/sec, loosen the cap, and forget it. When I wake up in the morning it is usually empty. A few times the nozzle in the tank has clogged with calcium, but i just tap it and it returns to service.

brian, i have the aquadose 2.5 and only drip one drop per 15 seconds and mine hasnt clogged for the short time ive been using it. i replace the kalk every 2 wks, and when i do i run fresh water thru the tubing a couple of times to clear it out. the line is about 6-7 ' long
