Ok total concentration of chemicals to a gallon of water is as follow:
Calcium chloride 2.25 cups/gallon RO water
Magnesium
Magnesium Sulfate 3cups
Magnesium Chloride 5 cups
/gallon RO water
Soda Ash 1.5 cups/gallon RO water

Don't go over these parameters,those concentrations will vary your dosing regime. The way I see it,I hate mixing the chemicals so why go 1/2 or even 1/3 of concentration.

Now that what I'm talking about, thanks Eli.

LOL, I knew it was more than 5 cups but couldn't remember. Thanks Elias! I add the 8 cups as my mag is already mixed together (I use a half cup to add it and sometimes I lose count )
