Lime stone filter treatment

I am working in desalination plant and after we got a distillate water ( no salt content ) we treat this water with CO2 and lime stone to get hardness and Alkalinity in water at about 50 ppm both , but after 5 years approx. we could get this figure although we have a full of lime in all filter and sufficient amount dosing of CO2 26 ppm and still we could not get 45 ppm of hardness and Total Alkalinity and we I check sample on each filter ( one filter are full of lime and other are less than have ) we got same result , so my question is why I can not get 50 ppm T. Alkalinity and we same result is obtain in different quantity of lime in two filters. Thanks to everybody
