    Hey Guys,

    What do you add to your Auto Top Off Water?
    I have been running my Auto Top Off for a while and I have noticed that it has been dragging my KH way down.
    Should I be doseing my Top Off Water to close to tank specs for KH, Cal, Mag and others?

    Just looking for suggestions to help keep my water a little more stable?

    Thanks,
    Cole

    I don't add anything to my ro/di top off water. I'm not positive, but the only thing people add is kalkwasser. Maybe someone else can help more.
