Can the kalk drip line be placed slightly below water level to avoid CO2 finding its way into the Kalk Stirrer. I ask because the saturation of the Kalk lasts about 3 days as oppossed to the full month as advertised. Adding kalk and manually stirring it up does not help. Dumping out and putting fresh water and kalk are the only fix thus far for me. So I am thinking CO2 is getting in there. Drip line reaches about 4 inches from bottom. Not sure if a quarter inch from water vs an inch makes a difference. Don’t know why I cannot put drip line in water. It will not siphon upwards into kalk stirrer. What is the concern with putting drip line in water?
I have the Avast K-1 Kalkwasser Stirrer hooked up to an Apex doser.
I am considering going back to adding Kalk back in gravity feed ato resevior, mixing, then saran wrap to seal it. Shutting valve off so water does not go into sump and using a doser for the evaporation rate to take saturated limewater to make my daily top off of fresh.
I do not like constantly adjusting my soda ash and calcium chloride due to the drastic changes in limewater saturation to keep things stable.
