It produces a saturated CaOH (calcium hydroxide = kalk) solution for dripping into your water and maintaining calcium and alkalinity levels in balance. Have a read of Randy Holmes-Farley's article here: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-01/rhf/index.php

Also kalk dripped at night can reduce any drastic pH swings that might occur during lights off, you have to experiment a bit and not drip too much in, otherwise you end up with a snowstorm effect in the tank as lots of chemicals precipitate out, completely messing your water chemistry.

Used correctly a kalk stirrer is an excellent tool for your reef.
