No, none of those can be added to limewater (kalkwasser). You'll precipitate calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and calcium sulfate.

thanks i have seen the volume of stuff you have to deal with and most of it repetition
so i value your comments greatly.
i will hit the chemistry books and and articles to try to avoid asking too many questions.
you provide a great service for free which in this day and age is almost unheard of,
thanks again.

Thanks a lot. :)

While I encourage folks to read similar old threads, don't worry about asking any questions that you don't readily find an answer to. :)
