Paula I was wondering if you must adjust the  pH and iron levels of your
system since you do not have any solid removal.

 If you do adjust it do you use the same as UVI , KOH one week Ca(OH)2 the
next and cheated iron every 3-4 weeks?

I have not been able to find Ca(OH)2 in a liquid form anywhere here in the
great white north. I have a feeling it does not come in a liquid form. Is
there any other common name given to this ?

I am new to this list so i will meakly add my knowledge
I am pretty sure Ca(OH)2 is formed when lime (CaO) is added to water.
It may require a little calculations to figure out how much CaO to add to
the water to get the desired solution ppM.
