After a brief experiment with Triton I'm considering going back to using limewater to maintain alkalinity and calcium. Before Triton I used limewater for top off. I wish I could say alkalinity was stable but honestly I wasn't diligent enough with testing to know. I do know that my kalk reactor produces at least nearly fully saturated solution based on EC. It was in use with monthly maintenance for over a year until I converted it into a Triton dosing container.
I'm assuming that I should aim to maintain the same level of alkalinity with limewater as I have with Triton. Now my alkalinity is pretty solidly at 8.4 with minimal deviation. I plan to dose with a dosing pump and then top off with RODI.
I would like to ballpark the amount of limewater I would need and compare that to my top off needs.
Triton writes that the their part 3 (a &b) has 9750 dKh alkalinity per L. I'm dosing 20ml per day. This would be 195 dKh. I haven't been able to find the level of alkalinity created by saturated limewater. I have read Randy's articles on the subject. Excuse me if it's there and I missed it. Can Randy or someone please help me with this? Thanks!
