What is the best way to lower Alk safely?
Don't dose and do water change with lower alk
What I would do is shut my selenoid down for 24, let my alk and calcium drop. 425 is perfect for calcium. If the calcium don't drop to 425 in the 24hrs I would leave it off a little longer. When you turn your selenoid back on Either slow the bubble count down or open the effluent to keep my cal number at 425
Jim,
that's on the bottom end of where I would keep it.. I usually shoot for 1.026
I was hoping it was on the higher side, were you could add straight RODI water to bring it down to try and help dilute the alk reading.
what's your current reading? and did you keep your CARX off for the past few days to help it drop?

I would just take the kalkwasser reactor offline for now. Your alkalinity should drop and just let the CaRx handle the alkalinity & Ca.
I tee my ATO output with JG unions and ball valves so that I can split the kalkwasser reactor output with just RO water when the alkalinity gets to high and the calcium stays within range. This allows me to lower the lime water without sacrificing the volume of water replacement.
