Jesse,

There is anti siphon mechanism in place, a hole on top of the outflow tubing. Also, the chamber of the reactor jut have a cap, not weld on. In addition there is a small air hole on top. The Kalk only flow out by overflow, never have siphon unless these holes which are above the waterline is cover and plugged. Even if these mechanism fail, the total siphon would be about 1 inch of fluid in the chamber.
After I use it, it I see that there is a lot of undissolved powder (CaCO3) I will submerge the output and see if this help.

This reactor is very well though out. I really like it, even if I have not use it yet.
