I think you should just leave it alone. Let things settle out. Most would want calcium levels that high.

Only if they dion't know the consequences.

rossi, what test kit do you have to test the calcium level? If you miss 50/50 tank water with RO water, does the level drop to 250ppm with your test kit?

Give it a try. My inclination is that you need better calcium test kit....

I remembered you now. So you still have this issue... did you do the dilution test as sanity check?
