They are only painting a partial portrait assuming you know that besides that piece of equipment you need a Co2 cylinder and pressure gauge., another $100 minimum. But I assume you already knew that, just being sure.
Calcium reactors can be very useful in eliminating dosing 2 part. Like everything else mechanical in life they are subject to fidgety adjustments and failure, usually at the most inopportune time. I have never had one and will not because of the ease of dosing with 2 part. Some with reactor experience swear by them others swear at them, some return to 2 part dosing. In life I’ve learned the KISS method, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. I’ve found that to be wise advice.
I’ve also found the CHEAP is most often not the way to go. The money you save in the beginning cannot compare to the frustration, anxiety and money lost upon replacing the CHEAP with QUALITY later.
Not sure why you are fighting pH and Alkalinity variables. What are you dosing with?
