Careful here... The CONCENTRATION of Kalk will self limit because it can't dissolve any more...but that doesn't mean that you can't add too much Kalk to your system.

The amount of Kalk your system needs is based on how much Ca/Alk your system needs..NOT how much evaporation you happen to have.

It is certainly possible to add too much Kalk to a system by assuming that you need the same amount as your evaporative water. Checking your Alk level will tell you if you are overdosing.

Once you have significant Ca/Alk usage, you'll probably need more Ca/Alk than Kalk alone can provide. At that point, you might as well allow Kalk to flow with the evaporative replacement...but at that point you would also be supplying Ca/Alk some other way as well.
