Kalk stirrer on AIO system, question about plumbing into tank.

[Vdlibrtr]

Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

"Note that our stirrers are non-pressurized chambers; water enters through a 1/4" John Guest fitting in the lid and gravity drains out into your sump through the 1/2" union barb fitting in the side. The lid is not fixed in place; it lifts off for quick and easy kalk powder refills."
