I built a DIY reactor with 4" acrylic and a maxijet 600. After about three weeks the impellers on the maxi jet were completely gone. I set up a timer to mix the kalk for five minutes every four hours. The only thing i can figure would eat them is the semi solidified kalk sitting in the impeller chamber during start up. I changed my design to incorporate a maxi jet 900 up higher in the plumbing but I am already getting the same chatter the 600 had.
So my questions are:
How long should I expect a kalk pump to last?
Do you leave your pump on continuously?
How much pickling lime would you put into a 4"x18" chamber? Maybe Im using too much kalk.
Do you think my design is flawed (that badly) in the pics below? And should I build a new one with the spare parts I have?
