Pressurized kalk reactor

[derek_SR]

Testing the pH difference between a bucket of freshly mixed saturated kalk (12.4 pH) and my avast kalk stirrer (11 pH). The stirrer still has a lot of kalk at the bottom which makes it very deceiving regarding its potency.

Already a 0.2 difference and that's at 75% of the dosing volume of the stirrer. I'm about ready to ditch the stirrer and figure a way to route a line outside so I can store a 55 gallon drum of saturated kalk.

This was pretty much my conclusion after messing around with two different reactors. After this frag tank the next project is to set up a kalk drum in the garage and run a RODI line along with the AWC lines.
