I would like to free up a dosing pump that is currently dosing Vinegar. I was thinking about the vinegar to my ATO reservoir to dose. My math thought process follows:
Known:
-Currently dosing ~17.6mL/day
-ATO Reservoir= 30gal
-1gal of vinegar = 3785.41mL
Ok... here are my approximations:
-Adding 1gal of vinegar to 29gal dilutes it to 130.53mL/29gal..... (29gal because vinegar will take up the extra gallon of volume in ATO)
-ATO uses approx 2.14-gal/day (I refill roughly every 2-weeks... (30gal / 14days))
-Using these values I assume that I would dose approx 55.31mL/day of diluted vinegar.... (130.53mL/30gal divided by 2.14gal/day = 55.31mL vinegar/day)
-Finally, using the value of 55.31mL vinegar (and using the same math) I can deduce that by half-ing the gallon of vinegar, I should be dosing approx 22.65mL/day
Please let me know if I'm WAY off..... and if I'm close, would dosing vinegar this way be a worthwhile? Or should I just invest in another dosing pump?
