Kalkwasser

[Nanz]

How much is one pound of Kalkwasser? How many cups or TBL spoons?

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

The answer to the volume will vary, as the bulk density depends on exactly how it is processed.

1 gram will saturate about 0.66 L of fresh water, so 454 grams (1 pound) will saturate about 303 L.

I don't mean to hi jack your thread but is 1 tsp of kalk per gallon of water a good mix Randy???

That's a fine starting point. Each tank is different, though, and requires its own tuning and checking.
