How often should i add kalk to the ATO container or change it out? Do i do it each time it runs down to before it hits the cloudy settled stuff or can i refill it several times? Its a 5g jug.

I am not sure on the kalk, but one thing I did learn is that when using a tom aqualifter(or any small pump) on a RKE make sure to run it through a surge surpressor. I had multiple occasions when the tom didn't shut off properly and dumped extra water into my tank. I contacted DA and they recommended plugging the Toms into a surge suppresor and then plugging the SP directly into the RKE.
 
I let mine run down until it gets to the cloudy part then rinse it out and add new water and kalk.
