Hey everyone,

I want to get a top off system so I can keep my water level in my sump at an appropriate level. I also want to use kalkwasser to top off the evaporated water. My question is what effects will kalkwasser have on the pump used with my auto top off system. Will I need to clean the pump very often, will the pump build up alot of calcium in the pump which will slow it down? Any info on this subject is greatlt apprecicated, thanks.
