Best was to use vinegar to strengthen kalkwasser

[spscrackhead]

I run a kalk reactor and have reached my ato usage. I need to make it more concentrated.

What is the best way to strengthen the concentration of kalk in the reactor with vinegar?
I draw water from my ato resovior to feed the reactor and it is dosed through a dos. I have added vinegar to the resovior in the past but bacteria eventually slimes up the water and its a hassle.
Could I just t off the reactor feed line and dose vinegar into the reactor there? How much should I start off with daily?

It is technically challenging to use vinegar in a reactor delivery of limewater (kalkwasser).

Have you measured to see if the effluent is actually saturated? Often folks find it is not.

What would be the best way to measure? Ph?

I put a tee in the ato line and use a separate dosing pump to add the vinegar directly into the stirrer. A solenoid keeps the vinegar from going into the ato reservoir. I have to use a decent amount of vinegar to make it work but I can actually raise/lower my alk by adjusting the vinegar.
