Unless I'm missing something, the Aquacare turbo chalk reactor is what is normally referred to as a Ca Reactor. Difference with theirs is they inject air so the effluent is coming out at 7.3 rather than 6.5-6.8 that's common is single chamber types.

There are types (dual chamber) where the effluent from the first chamber passes through a second chamber where no CO2 added. This raises the overall output effluent.

Separate from the above are Kalk or Kalkwasser reactors which are stand alone units where the effluent's pH is something like 12+.

Don't think the Aquacare is combining these functions (doesn't appear the Neutralization tube contains a Kalk solution).

btw, I'm another guy with a Ca reactor that doesn't drip kalk.
