Ca reactors depreciate Ph and Kalk stirs apreaciate them. I think it would be ideal to have our sytem run this way.

I feel its best to run a reactor all day and supliment it with kalk at night to increase ph during Pm hours. My ideal set up would be to be able to reach an equalibrium where i can run my reactor during the day only and a few hours after lights out to have my kalk reactor running to replace elements then. That way my PH should be a lot more stable.

If you want to make your life easy as myself, just run the Ca reactor 24hrs a day and not run Kalk untill yrou CA damands are off the roof. You can also just run Kalk reactor 24hrs if it keeps up with your demand and then later suppement that with a CA reactor.
