I hope the article is useful for some folks!

Please let me know if you see typos or things that seem wrong.

Another brilliant article, thank you. Reference point 1 in the side Effects section. Where you mention using RODI to balance the salinity increase from 2 parts, I assume increasing kalkwasser dosing could also be used if calcium and alkalinity is continually monitored?

yes, if you mean remove some tank water and replace with kalk. That works fine, though it’s not a big boost over normal kalk unless the two part dose is very high.
