I recommend checking out Randy's articles in the Chemistry forum. Here is a good one on kalkwasser.

When I was using kalkwasser I would mix 2 tablespoons of pickling lime per gallon of water, mix it up, let it settle for a couple hours, and drip it with a Kent Aqua-Dose.

There are some simple DIY kalk reactors that might be a little easier. It gets old mixing up the kalk every couple days.
