Help with Kalkreactor maintenance
I bought a Precision Marine Kalkreactor KR620 one month ago and put 2 cups kalk powder in. I hooked it up to my auto top-off system. My calcium was starting to drift down the past week (from 457 to 407 ppm). Despite there still being 1" of white ppt in the reactor, the calcium in the top-off effluent was only 2 ppm!
What is remaining in the reactor if no more calcium is left?
How often do you add Kalk to the reactor? I am assuming that you don't wait until the reactor is empty (i.e. no white ppt left). How often to you clean out your reactors and remove the white ppt?
Thanks
