Chin, can you describe the fluffy material? Still white/off-white, looks like it would be soft like say whipped cream?

the fluffy material looks like white cotton or the pulp of the lemon in real lemonade. Its off-white in color and translucent. Whenever it changes to this form, I siphon it out of the bottom of my reactor and add new kalk.
My reactor is a DIY which is basically the same as the OA's kalk reactor. The effluent is always above the water line so there is no backflow nor chance of saltwater contamination. The freshwater source is RO/DI at 0 TDS reading. And for kalk, I'm currently using Chem-master's kalk. |
