Usually what I do is as follow

1. Add 1 teaspoon to 1 litre of water.

2. Mix them together.

3. Let the mixture stand for 1 to 1.5 hour to allow the residue to sink to the bottom.

4. With the clear solution, drip into the sump or main tank at 1 drip per second.

5. Throw away the residue, do not reuse it.

One word of caution, know what is your depletion rate of calcium and KH first before you embark on dripping the Kalk, do not follow blindly what poeple is doing.

Synch your drop flowrate to your water evaporation rate. try 1 drop/s for starters.
