What one dose does
PARAMETER
1 g / 100 L
Calcium
+3.6113 ppm
To raise calcium by 20 ppm in 100 L: 5.5 g.
How it’s used
Same use as the dihydrate but about a third stronger by weight. Absorbs water from air, so weigh it quickly and keep it sealed.
Cautions
• Dissolving releases a lot of heat; add to water slowly.
• Hygroscopic: an opened bag gains weight and loses strength per gram.
