What is this "Kalkewasser" stuff I hear people talking about? I don't use it at all -- should I be??

Simpley put, kalkwasser is a Greman term that describes a carbonate and bi-carbonate solution of limewater or calcium hydroxide.
It helps replenish calcium and maintain alkalinity in the water, It is not a means to raise levels but simply maintain them.
