Hah, I bet it's just pure bicarbonate (baking soda) with no carbonate. This would pH balance it a bit lower and prevent the Ca from precipitating out. I am curious if, when you add it, do you get the typical milky response in the water as when you add the normal Alk supplement? My theory is that you don't. I am guessing you just bought the same as Arm and Hammer from a grocery store, but that's just a guess. Incidentally, that is what I dose for Alk, with a bit of Carbonate to pH balance it a bit the other way.
