Ah, I didn't realize you weren't using full strength kalkwasser.

You can put up to about 1 teaspoon per gallon.

Some worry about letting it settle out and only using the more clear solution. I NEVER have and have never had a problem. THINK about all the people using Kalk reactors, they never let the solution settle out!

You do need to watch your alk and ph as you ramp up solution concentration. Kalk is strange, you actually get a higher concentration with a LOWER water temp (not tank, talking about kalkwasser storage vessle here). You can also increase the concentration further by adding some vinegar, but then you don't get as much PH increase that most people are looking for.
