Using it you get something like 2.2 dKH boost if you add the whole 30 g.

My experience is that a solution of 600 gr. Soda ash mixed into 3,850 ( 1 gallon) of rodi added at the rate of about 100 mils over a 24 hour period using an Apex doing pump pushed the dKH right up.

What do you mean, by right up and in how many litres of water?

I gallon = 3.85 liters =3,850 mils

From about 8 to to not quite 10 dKh in about 2 days total water in tank abour 75 gallons.
