They don't provide much specs.
I guess we just get one and try it out. Nothing to worry about with Amazon's generous return policies.
Keep us posted if you decided to give it a try.
I do notice that as the calcium hydroxide gets spent the stratification cloud is higher in the reactor.
no Worries, 30 years of kalk use yet never felt a need to stick a ph probe into it . Sometimes Simple works I did say kalk on the bottom, not calcium carbonate buildup. It’s not that hard to differentiate those 2
I'm curious as well.
Was the PH in your tank reacting as of it was fully saturated? I’m starting to get the impression that a Ph probe isn’t too accurate sitting in kalk vessels. Wonder if the probe reading was declining, but the water was in correct range. I know when I was using settled clear water, my probe reading would start to drift, but my tank readings and dosing amounts were consistent (seemingly anyways)
No, I don't see any fluctuation of my tank's pH. I don't think it is issue with the probe sitting in the Kalkwasser. The pH would go right back to 12.4 as soon as I clean the vessel and load new Kalkwasser. I also calibrate the pH occasionally and it hasn't been out at all.
I’m looking into adding the K1, which is why I’m asking. What Kalk do you use? They have a couple good charts that shows PH decline over their 14 and 30 day recommended amounts of kalk to add.
I use both BRS and ESV Kalkwasser (depending on availability). To be honest, I can't tell which one is "better". My consumption seems stable so I estimate the amount of Kalkwasser (in conjunction with pH probe) to pro-actively change/add Kalkwasser.
