Bionic question

[Themako1]

I mixed up the bionic calcium and alkalinity with rodi water about 5 months ago months ago, used some of it but haven’t used it since. Does this stuff go bad after mixing it up or will it be safe to use it if I just shake up the containers?

Extremely stable in a closed container.

Wait, did you mix the calcium component with the alkalinity component? That would form a precipitate of calcium carbonate and could not be used for dosing.

No I’m sorry I mean I just put the Rodi water in the containers, like when you first open them you have to add water

I have to believe the OP has the five gallon buckets that are sold dry, and you need to add four gallons of RO/DI to each to mix up the solution.

Don't the gallon jugs also require addition of RODI before use?

That could be....I'm only familiar with the 5 gallon bucket version....that I puchased once and the poor quality bucket failed and leaked all over my basement floor. :mad: I'm now all DIY version.....cheap!

They are 1 gallon jugs
