I use Kalk in my Automatic top off system. I have a 5 gallon container to which I add 8 teaspoons of Kalk to 5 gallons.
Water is drawn from the container at a point above the sludge so it doesn't get into the system.
Does this sludge need to be stirred up every once in a while to help it dissolve and make the water above it retain it's high pH value?
Also, quite often, rather than dumping the sludge, I merely fill the container with RO water. This usually stirs up the sludge and I don't bother adding anymore kalk to the container. I wait till 10 minutes for it to settle and then start the ATO system up again....is this a good idea or should I dump the sludge and start off fresh every time?
