I have the same setup, saturated kalk in Tunze ATO controlled with an apex. I couldn't find a solution to the huge spikes and also keep up with evaporation/calcium/alk needs, so I diluted my kalk substantially and went with two part with dosers. Now I just keep my osmolator on 24/7. Problem solved for me. You could sell the osmolator if you want but its a great ATO, IMO.

I'd say leave your ATO on 24/7 and just add vinegar, just read through some of randy's articles .
