What one dose does
PARAMETER
1 g / 100 L
Calcium
+3.3333 ppm
To raise calcium by 20 ppm in 100 L: 6 g.
How it’s used
Dissolve in RO/DI and add to high flow: g = (target - measured Ca) / 10 x 0.03 x L. Balling: 715 g in RO/DI to 10 L (1 ml/100 L = ~+0.195 mg/L Ca); add Infusion to this solution for the TRITON Method.
Cautions
• actual rise likely ~8 mg/L per 3 g/100 L (dihydrate chemistry) - retest

Conflict: Triton's own Trace-Element and Discontinued calculators use 273 mg Ca/g for its Calcium powder (= dihydrate, 3 g = 8.2 mg/L), while the DIY page/calculator says 3 g = 10 mg/L (would need anhydrous CaCl2, 3.61 mg/L per g). Balling recipe 715 g/10 L as dihydrate = 0.973 meq/ml, balancing the 1.0 meq/ml NaHCO3 solution, which supports dihydrate. Using the 10 mg/L figure under-doses by ~18% (safe direction).
