Does my math look ok?

why 5% acid? is better?

@marti

CLO2 says 5% would make a slightly stronger CDS concentrate.

That's the way my components came from Germany via The Netherlands. It wasn't worth the hassle to dilute the HCL from 5% to 4%.

Once these components are used up I will start using CLO2's quick CDS method using 80% sodium chlorite flakes and ctrus acid powder to make CDS.

Hi Jim

That looks like a much better balance of ingredients and the NaClO₂ will be fully activated. It looks like you should be able to get about 6000ppm with these quantities.

I am not convinced from the Amazon description that the actual final NaClO₂ concentration is 25% not least because to achieve this from standard technical grade 80% powder, you would need to make a 31.25% solution of that powder whereas 25% of the powder provides a final concentration of 20% NaClO₂. If this is the case the final CDS will be closer to 5000ppm … and you could dial back on the acid to 15ml.

Attached are a couple of calculations. The concentrations are maximum theoretical and, depending on time, temperature air volume, leakage, etc will only be partially achieved. In one sense this is not important because in use you will be adjusting dose in accordance to how you react to it … but it is good to have a reasonable ballpark figure!

Why can you not use the Apple spreadsheets? You don't need an Apple device, just a web browser. You will need an iCloud account but that is free and easy to set up. The link to set up a new iCloud account is small, light grey and far down the page.
