    top off is separate from my kalkwasser container for me. I do not use a reactor because I like how in a container where the impurities are not constantly mixed in again the stuff divides and sort of filters impurities out by itself. In a stirring reactor everything just gets mixed again.
    My kalkwasser pump (aqualifter) is hooked up to my RKL and dosing happens when the pH monitor detects pH to be below a certain point and shuts off when it goes beyond a certain pH level. In practice this happens in the early morning hours.
    So my kalk also stabilizes my ph during a 24 hour period for me.
    The auto top off is simply triggered by water level and not connected to my kalkwasser at all.
    I am sure in the winter with the heater on in the house and drier air the tanks will evaporate more water than in the spring and fall when I keep the windows open, etc. so I don't want to dose more kalk in the winter just because it's part of the top off.
