The Controller unit was designed to work with CalcFeeder PRO calcium reactor but can
be used also as a very precise feeding pump for any other Calcium Reactor brand (require
turning the “Standalone” mode to ON).
The CalcFeeder PRO controller is equipped with an ultra-precise Stepper Motor pump
with four rollers. Built-in LCD touch-screen allows for very easy flow adjustments and
controller operations. The Controller firmware updates can be performed by the internal
USB port.

2.2. Controller Maintenance
Stepper motor allows for heavy-duty work 24/7 without any limits. The controller allows
setting the rate at which calcium and carbonate are dosed in the tank from 100 ml/h to
7200 ml/h.
Please remember about regular tubing inspections and maintenance. Used Pharmed
BPT tubing has an MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) of an average of 2000 hours and
needs to be replaced after that time. Regular lubrication by using silicone grease will extend
tubing lifespan and protect the device against leaking and damage.
