help with drip system on my pond

[midnight]

ok so i want to add a drip system to my pond.
i will probably just let the filter overflow to get rid of the extra water.
i plan to use the flex hose and a valve like the ones under a sink.
the thing i cant figure out is how to add aqua safe as needed.
and do it cheap
any ideas? tip?
thanks

IV drip type system for the aqua safe.

Why aren't you using the drip irrigation tip for your system? it's cheap.

I.V. Drip; or if you cant find one like me do the following.

1. Get a small plastic tub or container.
2. Drill a small hole into the bottom and shove a coupler for 1/4" irrigation hose into it (it should seal if you drill the hole small enough).
3. Take a short piece (3/4") of 1/4" irrigation hose and attach to the outside end of the coupler.
4. Attach an adjustable ball valve (the small ones designed for 1/4" airlines) to the irrigation hose.
5. Fill with diluted aquasafe or prime and adjust valve to drip as you see fit.

Thats what i do any way.

Dr. Joe, do you know where you can commercially by an IV drip? I had looked briefly before i decided to try to create a doser.

Funny you mention that, i actually got several of those HUGE Medicine dropper/syringe looking things from some of my daughters stays at hospitals, those things are great for dosing multiple tanks.

In a drip system, is a water conditioner really necessary? Iv read a few threads where it doesnt matter as it get diluted with the massive amounts of water already treated.
