How many of you guys are adding kalk in your ATO?
I'm getting tired of adding 7 spoons of kh buffer and 5 spoons of Ca every day.

That is alot of buffer and calcium! There is no ways that topping up with KH in the RO water will be able to compare with that.I'm getting tired of adding 7 spoons of kh buffer and 5 spoons of Ca every day.
I am getting 15L of evap a day. So wont it be enough adding it through the ATO?That is alot of buffer and calcium! There is no ways that topping up with KH in the RO water will be able to compare with that.
For those sorts of levels youll be better off looking into a calcium reactor.
How big is your tank?am getting 15L of evap a day. So wont it be enough adding it through the ATO?
+-1500 literHow big is your tank?
Problem i found when topping up with KALK is that evaporation rate changes almost daily so i spent more time monitoring KH/Ca than when i dosed it manually. The top up also couldnt keep up with sonsumption
That is crazy!!! Depending what you plan on keeping, id definitely look into calcium reactor then. Or DIY additive routebut adding around R2k of additives a month is a bit mal if you know what I'm saying.
None. I mix the 7 spoons of kh buffer with RO water and add it to the sump immediately. It's not standing around. Same with the Ca. Well started with Kalk to the ATO last night so will see if that will helpHow much of your CA kh is precipitating? 7 and 5 spoons seems to be a little excessive. Not saying it is a bad way of doing it. Maybe a little inefficient.
