hello,

im using mag chloride hexahydrate .. seems to be working nicely. mag went up … mag dissolved nicely in the rodi water.

however

today I used kalkwasser for the first time and I was expecting the sediment on the bottom, sure. but it was hard to take only clear water out while pouring. I mean .. when I get to the bottom half of the water bottle, I will surely get some of the floating particles in the sump too. it doesn't settle into a solid mass

whats the worst that can happen.? is it just waste, so we try to avoid it? Im thinking I can turkey baste it out of sump after, rather than throwing half a bottle out-- trying to avoid these particles.
 
the light bulb just went off...

ill buy a French coffee press. should filter the powder on the bottom.

if I need to!
 
Let it settle overnight, then whatever solids remain suspended are typically no concern. Close it carefully or it may never get clear from newly forming CaCO3 suspended in the water column.
