Dosing

My systems use of CAL and ALK is very high... I'm using a large 2 chamber MRC calcium reactor, and it can't keep up... I've been using a dosing pump to drip Kalk at night and (2)- 5 gallon containers for sodium carbonate/ sodium bicarbonate and for calcium chloride.

My question is can I mix the two together in one container and use a dosing pump instead of the drip method??

Thanks.

Kalkwasser can't be mixed with the calcium chloride or sodium carbonate without causing precipitation, so you'll need to keep all three containers separate.
