Help with Kalkwasser

[DavidinGA]

Ah ok. I see what you're saying now. I was wondering that myself. Whether or not it would be enough to support my consumption. I imagine that this will take some time to dial in between the kalk and the proper amount to dose. Are you using A & B as your secondary?

Thank you for that link though. That is exactly what I was looking for. I need to order one of those.

Also, do you see any PH spikes at all running your kalk through the ato, when it tops off?

Ya I dose alk and cal through dosing pumps and all my top off is kalk.

I don't see any pH spikes at all.

i have been running a calcium reactor and kalkwasser reactor in combination for 20 years, totally missed the part a/part b etc... and use a liter meter 3 to push water thru the kalk reactor, zero chance of flooding and once you get them both running its pretty much maintaince free and very cheap to run.

Ive dose kalk water through my ATO for a long time and did have a few issues. I use a float valve which is very reliable except when the reservoir runs out of kalk water. Then the valve usually clogged , when i fill the reservoir again no top off water. Then i have to take the float valve off , clean it and put it back ;will work fine after that.
The danger is how much kalk water you will add when it return to service, could be quite a bit if it took you a few days to notice its wasnt working.
For those who prefer not to use ato to deliver kalk water a drip system may work well also.
