I keep reading on how you should only add pickling lime or baking soda to raise the alkalinity. But I haven't read about using those 2 minerals to add just calcium or sodium. Sometimes when using Bru'n Water you can only add so much CaCl2 and CaSO4 to bring the chloride and sulfates to where you want but are still short on calcium. So why couldn't you use pickling lime for an example to raise the calcium and then use lactic acid to bring the PH back down?
