Kalk stirrer placement

I have a 40g reservoir of rodi water in my basement for ATO that's pumped up to the first floor with a Spectrapure UPLC II peristaltic pump. I've been adding kalk to that reservoir for about a year. I wanted to add a kalk stirrer to see if I could get more consistency from the kalk. I don't have room for the stirrer near the sump so the only place I can put it in line is where the ATO reservoir is in the basement. Anyone have experience with either pushing or pulling water through a stirrer that is not located next to the sump? It seems that the stirrer designs are for the water to overflow from the stirrer chamber into the sump.

Unfortunately, no room inside the sump either.

The problem is getting water from the reservoir to the stirrer. Without a siphon there's no way to trigger the water draw into the stirrer, unless a probe went into the stirrer triggering a pump from the reservoir. I was hoping there could be a siphon.
 
I have the Avast K1 also and I don't think that you can do what you want to do with that model as it is a non-pressurized chamber. I would contact Avast and ask them......they have great customer service and might have a creative "fix" for you.

Yup, I have the K1 and have been speaking with Justin and Dan there. No creative fix other than what I mentioned.
