Switching from AFR to kalkwasser

[twentyleagues]

The potency of a slurry would depend on how much solid is in the liquid. Assuming he used what he first posted (6 g /gallon fresh water) the slurry would not come into play as nearly all will dissolve.

Ok. But in post 40 they say they measure 1 tablespoon and mix it into 1.5l of water. So if 1 tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons and 2 teaspoons is about 6g then they are adding 9g of kalk to a little less than half a gallon of water.

Yes it is a great pump for Kalk

If the pH rises, demand may rise, but 50 mL of AFR is equivalent to 2.6 Liters of saturated kalkwasser.

At how many tsp per gallon do I mix the kalk?

Well, this post made my butt pucker. One thing I've learned long ago about Randy...facts over feelings.

About 2 level teaspoons per gallon of fresh water is saturation, but using less is fine if it is enough.
