    Default DIY Kalk stirrer

    here's the bits, i got the tub a while back from co-op for a quid or so. other bits and bobs i had lying around
    lid had two holes drilled in pushed in some air hose connectors and use pvc pipe weld to glue. need several layers (5 or 6), tube needs to be heated in cup of boiled water and pushed on carefully.



    close up of the "stirrer" red hot small screwdriver used to make the holes, not shown but more holes on the reverse of othe yellow bit, so that water pushes kalk round.


    close up showing ro tubing used and warmed up over gas ring and pinched together using pliers.


    finished article ro tubing used and (blue) and elbow. air hose is the clear hose



    in situ, perfect fit on my perc 90



    top up starting to move kalk


    bit later



    later still




    there you go, you may be able to see that i have put two anti returns stops the water being drained to the ro resevoir. any questions?
