What one dose does
PARAMETER
1 ml / 100 L
Alkalinity
+0.0265 dKH
To raise alkalinity by 1 dKH in 100 L: 37.7 ml.
How it’s used
1 cup + 2 Tbsp (302 g per BRS bulk page) to 1 US gal. Stoichiometric 950 meq/L; BRS calculator example (100 gal, +1.5 dKH -> 214.2 ml) implies 947 meq/L.
Cautions
• Keep alkalinity increases <=1.4 dKH/day (BRS).
• Never premix with the calcium part.
• Slow to dissolve at ~1 cup per gallon; warming helps (do not boil - converts toward carbonate).
Sources
302 g made up to 1 US gal total.
