Does the 45 mL./gal. that you practice, Randy, seem to produce desirable end results as far as keeping pH in an acceptable level?

I don't add vinegar to my limewater, but that amount is intended to about balance the acid produced with the base added in the limewater, at least according to Craig Bingman's old calculations, and many people find it to work fine:

Adding soda water to lime will result in precipitation of calcium carbonate.
