I evaporate about a gallon of water per day. My new top up system holds up to 5 gallons of water. I add about 4 gallons of RO/DI water when it gets low. To that 4 gallons I want to add some supplements (that I will test for). What I've used in the past, and have on hand includes:
Kent - Strontium & Molybdenum
Kent - Iodine
Kent - Superbuffer -dKH (new to me my son gave it to me, never used it before)
Mrs Wages - Pickling Lime
I've got a few questions -
1 - How much to add to my 4 gallon additions, and
2 - Can I use them all together?
For the first two Kent liquids I figure about a cap full with each 4 gallons, the dKH buffer about 1/2 teaspoon once things are stabalized (I'm not far off as it is).
For the Pickling Lime I also figured about a teaspoon per top up.
How does that sound? Can I use those all together - the solution will sit for up to a week in the storage container mixed waiting to be used as top up.
Thanks,
Brad
