So no, I haven't got any concerns about mixing.
Brad,

Your delivery system is much different and more forgiving than mine. In your system, the kalk powder has a chance to settle at the bottom of your jug over time. In my puny 1400 ml system, I've got to settle the powder first in my make up 4L jug before adding any kalk mix through my drip.
