Default Kalkwalsser question

I am currently dripping kalk and I am wondering how often I have to stir up the kalk in my reactor? I have setup 1min per hour with a maxijet 400 and I have noticed that the water that is dripping into my sump is kinna milky type, my question is, is this bad? or its okay?

You want the drip to be as clear as possible.

This is some what dependent on the flow rate. As my drip rate was separate from my water top off I had a very low drip rate and I had mine stirring it for periods of no more than 1 minute every 8 hours or 3 times a day.
