I must've been mistaken. I was under the impression that the addition of vinegar made the available calcium more stable and/or more potent.

For example that 2 tsp kalk per gallon of ato would provide more calcium with simply the addiction of vinegar, but judging from this post I gather I am NOT correct?

It is simply a matter of being able to dissolve more kalk per gallon then with plain water alone?
