Default Kalkwasser

Thanks Wayne, I'm not mixing anything different lately (same kind of water,
etc) and do not aerate it, it just sits in a closed pitcher until ready to
be dripped. For some reason it's not mixing like it used to though. Is it
possible that I have a "bad batch" of the powder (it is a new container of
mix) or that if the water is not kept at the usual temp could that effect
it? During the warmer months (I'm in NJ) I just let it sit on the kitchen
counter (ambient room temp around 75, in the winter ambient room temp is
around 70).

And you are using RO water, and not aerating the lime water, right?

I found a really good source directly from a manufacture here in Florida.
I used to sell it in the store. Just for the fun of it, I sold it real
cheap. I sold it for a $1.00 a bag. Then when people would see it and ask
what it was, I'd say "It's a dollar bag". :-)

Hmm, maybe I should start buying it again, and auction it off on ebay. :-)

Happy New Year,

Does anyone have a preferred kalkwasser mix (for those that use one). I'm
currently using Kent Marine, but I've noticed a lot more precipitate in
the mix lately, using the same proportions of water / powder. Anyone have
any experience with any other brands?

Thanks - Patrick
