Thoughts on making a kalk reactor from a TLF phosban reactor?

Maybe this has already been done, but I searched and googled and found nothong.

I was considering making something similar to this out of a TLF phosban reactor. I would reverse the flow to have water enter through the center from my auto top off, stirring the kalk.

It seems like an incredibly simple DIY, albeit only holding a limitted amount of kalk. This is for PH impact only on a 180. I already have a ca reactor for calcium and alk.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Has no one out there tried this or is the idea just rediculous? I'm surprised no one has replied.

Maybe I will break new ground.
