Kalkwasser

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

Not only is it dirt cheap, but it doesn't leave a yellow residue behind
and it appears to last longer (no evidence, just subjective). I go for
months between washing out my containers.

I've also seen it at wal-mart in the fall, but at this time of year, you
may need to order it.

Thanks Kurt, I never tried using the pickling lime before. I've read about
others' good results with it, but never tried it myself, I'll give it a
shot.

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. :-)

If somebody snorted it, it would be their own damn fault. (Ouch!)

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).

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.

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

Yes, it could be a bad batch.
