Difference between Dry and Liquid BRS soda ash?

[Fishbro]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the difference between BRS Dry and and Liquid soda ash? I mean my soda ash is in liquid form now, is that what it means? It seems like there is a difference in the dosing amount when I put in dry and when I put in liquid into the calculator.

The difference is one comes premixed with water.
The soda ash /sodium carbonate is the same as taking baking soda and baking it in the oven. Randys 2 part recipe sugests this to convert baking soda to sodium carbonate. Then he has you mix it with water.

Ok so mine didn’t come premixed with water so I assume it’s the “dry” version?

I don't really understand your question. Both dosages are for the same product. It is just one is a dry measure to add the powder and the other is in milliliters after mixing per the directions into water.

I miss-understood the question. After looking at the brs site I see they only sell dry . They also include a mixing jug. You can dose it in dry form or mix it with water. The calculator will tell you how much depending on if you have mixed it with water or are dosing it dry

@Fishbro if you're trying to figure out how much to dose, look at the BRS calculator. You'll find four choices, liquid soda ash, liquid sodium bicarbonate, dry soda ash, dry sodium bicarbonate. How much you dose depends upon which product you are using. For example, I was dosing dry soda ash, so I would run my calc for dry soda ash / pharma pouch. Then mix this amount with some water and add to my tank.
