Tunze 5074 dispenser
Hello,
I have a few questions about the 5074 I was hoping you could answer. Do you need to run the pump on a timer or can I just put it inline with my 3155 ATO system? Can this unit sit in the dry area of my sump or does it need to be put in the Reservoir or the wet area of the sump?? Thanks |

You want to have a 3155 that has been installed for a while and is totally debugged, basically you know that it is installed right and has broken in and won't overfill. The 5074 mounts inside your reservoir of RO water and every time the pump kicks on it pumps through and doses kalkwasser with every top off.

The reason for the in reservoir mount is kalkwasser is hard on hoses and plastic, so they harden and loose the stretch and can pop off which could be catastrophic in sump or dry. I would just change to a 7 gallon bucket and you would be all set.
