    So in my ATO water storage elevta the pump let's say 2 INCHES and do somewhere or 1/4-1/2 teaspon in my ro/Di water coverit to prevent the storage water from evaping and then have another ro/Di contamier to pour in the storage just to mix up the undissolved kalk maybe keep s small 5-10 gallon heater in it and a small pump in it to keep it mixed up am I right if I do that

    I wouldn't warry about the heater, not enough water gets sent over to alter the tank.

    Make sure the pump is off when you disturb the ATO reservoir, or you'll have kalk chunks get spit into your DT.

    Also, make sure your params are at the levels before you start using the kalk, it just helps maintain.

    And yes, I'd start at 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per gallon, monitor and slowly bump it up.

    Also, mix the water the night before and add a small pump, the next day you'll have a scummy layer on top that you'll want to skim off before adding to your reservoir.
