Kalkwasser

[Randy Holmes-Farley Verified Community Expert]

Crazy question Randy, but what would happen if you either placed your CaRx effluent to feed your Kalk Reactor or somehow plumbed it in to the exit side of your Kalk reactor to reduce the buildup that can occur there. Thinking the low pH would come up on the CaRx effluent, but wondering chemistry wise what would happen there. Thx

Any type of seawater entering a chamber with substantial calcium hydroxide, or mixing with kalkwasser, will immediately precipitate a mud of magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate.

Boom! Makes perfect sense and I didn't think that through. Thank you!

If I was a kid in high school right now my science fair projects would be awesome! ;Hilarious
