Kalkwasser drip?

[jjgl]

How do you go about install a "kalkwasser drip" Is it something you buy or something you make?

It is a drip. There are many methods, some much better than others. You can buy Kalk mix off this site, and you just mix it into freshwter (RO ect). Then you need to figure out a way to regulate the gravity drip.
Mine is very primitive - i just mix it in a bucket and place it above my tank on a shelf and then gravity siphon it down through an IV tube.

I put mine on a little table so that the water is above the sump. then I run a small airline tube from the jug to the sump, get the flow started, then tie 3 knots in the tube to slow the drip. it's a pain.

You can make your own drip like the ones mentioned above or Kent makes 3 different size containers that cost between $15 to $30 that work good.

Where can you get these Kent containers? Id like to take a look at one. Maybe its something I could duplicate. Thanks all.
