Part of the problem could be your top up/water change water. Do you know what the calcium/alkalinity levels are? If the levels are low you may need to bump them up with supplements. If they are fine it would probably be good to do more frequent and larger water changes.

I've heard of people using these but didn't know how safe they were or how quickly the calcium dissolved out of them.

Our water has very low levels which is the main problem. I've also found that when using aragonite the calcium doesn't leach out of it at a quick enough rate to satisfy the need of all the baby snails we have...even when dispersing them around in a few tanks.
