Anybody know what a gizmo like that is properly called?
Hose feeder. I remembered who made it:
Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder
Load something like that up with seachem (and probably the Kh and Gh booster I use) and let it do the mixing in line.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant to dilute it first before putting it in the feeder.I think the issue here is the required dose is very small, most of the devices to add things to flowing water are aimed at adding quite considerable amounts of fertiliser/weed killer etc. ie the containers are many litres in size
I would of thought you need to keep things simple and therefore less things to go wrong.
- Dose tank with Prime enough for 180litres in your case.
- Add water to tank via hose pipe from mixer tap.
Job done.

. Do you have a cylinder or boiler? I suppose i could test Some how for cooper levels in our storage tank. the method you use sound a simple method.This^^
Been doing this method for 2 years,cold & hot water taps used.
I still have the same number of Amano's now that i started with.
Hi all,
This is true, the PIMS (Phosphate Induced Metal Stabilisation) treatment of drinking water means that it won't have any copper or lead in it, details are in this post: <HMA filter | UK Aquatic Plant Society>.

I like the idea of restarting filter syphon with a electric pump but i would have to hide it in cabinet as a permanent part of filter plumbing
Sadly me too. It's why I was trying to avoid using the hot water tap. I also lack a mixer tap. Perhaps I should be spending my money on plumbing instead of a planted tank?My house is old. We're still on the old system of boiler in the kitchen, hot water tank in the airing c'board
