Haven’t really had any depletion issues. Mind you I use half the Recommended sulphate and doubler the the buffering media.
If you run the effluent over calcium carbonate, some will dissolve, shifting the issue from depleting alkalinity to rising calcium. That effect will be less of an issue for most folks.
