What one dose does
PARAMETER

Calcium
+0.37 ppm
To raise calcium by 20 ppm in 100 L: 54.1 ml.
How it’s used
500 g x 0.2726 / 0.1829 = 745 g hexahydrate per US gal for the same Ca as Recipe #1.
Cautions
• Only ~18.3% Ca: using dihydrate numbers with hexahydrate under-doses by ~33%.
• Deliquescent: may already have absorbed extra water; verify stock with a Ca test.
