Kalk Mixing Question!
Just a quick question...I hope. I've been reading up on kalk dosing and I just refilled my ATO with RO water and mixed in 2 teaspoons of kalk per gallon. I mixed really well and it has been sitting for around four hours. The water is still cloudy but some stuff has settle to the bottom. Do I need to wait until the water is clear before I hook my ATO back up? In all my research I couldn't find a definitive answer. Thanks.

As long as it doses slowly the water being a little cloudy will not hurt anything.
Just make sure when you hook the ATO back up, it does not dump a lot of kalk into the tank all at once.

I agree. A little cloudiness doesn't seem to be an issue.
