Hello, I'm right at the bottom of this Ocean's blends solutions. So the prt 2 (alk) is cloudy with sediment at the bottom of the jug. I'm pretty sure it didn't get any Ca prt in it. There is just an inch at the bottom. I'm about to buy some more but can I still use this little bit left? I would think I can just shake it up good & use. Just curious Thanks.
 
With a full inch of material, I suspect you (or they) have just not dissolved it all. The alk part of many two parts is close to the solubility limit, and dissolving it all can be hard. Also, if it gets cold, like in shipping, it will precipitate. Warming it, or diluting if necessary, should solve the problem.
 
Thanks Randy , I just want this to dose up the alk in my 180 FO. The Alk was really low ! I'll dilute with some ro & use. I assume the concentration would be a bit off but I'm not really using this for spot on accurate .
Thanks again !
