What one dose does
PARAMETER
1 g / 100 L
Alkalinity
+0.3333 dKH
To raise alkalinity by 1 dKH in 100 L: 3 g.
How it’s used
Dissolve in RO/DI and add to high flow: g = (target - measured dKH) / 10 x 0.3 x L. Balling: 840 g in RO/DI to 10 L (1 ml = 1 meq; 1 ml/100 L = +0.028 dKH), dose with the CaCl2 solution plus Infusion (alk ml / 280).
Cautions
• raise alk gradually (Triton: no more than 0.5 dKH per day when lowering; target 7-8 dKH)

DIY Salt Calculator multiplier 0.3 g per 10 dKH per L (= 3 g per dKH per 100 L). Balling solution derivation: 84 g/L / 84.01 = 1.0 meq/ml; 1 ml in 100 L = 0.01 meq/L = 0.028 dKH.
