Default Kalkwasser

Yes, it could be a bad batch.

Wayne, I am using RO water. The mixture sits in an airtight pitcher (one
of the old type screw-on lid lemonade pitchers) with a lid on and only
gets opened when I need to fill up my drip-dose container. It just seems
that this only started to happen after I received the new container of
Kent's product that's why I was wondering if it could be a bad batch
(don't know if that's even possible though). Thanks for any suggestions,

Patrick

You say that you are using the same water, but if you are using tap
water, that changes.

Dry calcium hydroxide will loose it's strength by absorbing CO2. It's
best for long time storage, that you store it in an air tight
container. A bag is fine for short term storage. If storing in a bag,
double bagging and triple bagging helps.
