How do you dilute the calcium crystals on the bottom of a gallon of two part alkalinity
 
Are you using ESV 2 part? Fill up with the recommended amount of RODI water, shake a couple times, and just let it sit for a few days. If you want to accelerate it, submerge the bottom of the bottle in luke warm water.
 
I agitate it very well and as mentioned, warm it if necessary
 
If it's esv or similar
Shake it. Then shake it some more. Fill the sink with hot water and soak it then shake some more. Take a break and then shake it some more. Fill a large pot of water heat on stove and soak it for a few minutes so its very warm but not hot and shake some more. After all that is done shake just a little while longer :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
The good news is after all the shaking and it's dissolved it stays dissolved.
 
If you’re in most parts of the country right now, set it outside in the sun for an afternoon, and then shake it some more.

I’ve been doing that for three days. I even took a long rod and poked it to break it up. Now I have about 15 chunks the size of a marble left.

Sounds like you need to shake it some more :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
Seriously the first time I used it I contacted the vendor because I thought it was bad. They said to warm it up and shake it lol. For me it takes an almost violent shaking motion while warmed up to get it dissolved. Also what I have found to help a little is not to fill the jug all the way to the full mark. It leaves more room for everything to slam back and forth in the jug then just top off once it is dissolved.

I think the op can just chew up the marbles and take a shot of RODI and swirl and spit back into the container like Chuck Norris does at the dentist?
