Probably down to an alkalinity swing. Check it now and then again 24 hrs later. If its moved by a lot then this will be your issue.

I would limit alk swings to no more than 1dKh per day, but I personally think that's the higher mark. I'd shoot for something more like no more than 0.5-0.7dKh per day.
What were your pH & alk before and after the drip? And did you know what your daily alk and calcium usage per day was before starting to drip? |

How high did your PH get when you were dripping the kalkwasser? It is as powerful as Muratic Acid in the other direction.
