So I believe these two can be mixed together and dosed as a single dosage.
Can I just mix both bottles together and leave it in a dosing container?
This doesn't have to be refrigerated?

I’m not so sure about mixing them together. I think most either dose them separately or add one to your calcium and the other to your alkalinity two part. Refrigeration is not necessary.

I’m not an esv user so I couldn’t tell you with 100% certainty. Hopefully someone more familiar will chime in. I thought, but that’s not usual for me, that esv has some trace elements in it already. Not enough to deal with uptake or consumption, but just enough to keep things balanced when adding two part. I do not know that those included elements will play nicely with tm a or k. Someone smarter than me needs to advise.

Guess I will have to find another trace element to dose. I only have 1 more doser available. I am not a good manual doser. I forget.

In Original Balling you can add trace A- and K+ to the A and B, thus eliminating extra dosers.
Trace A goes to the alkalinity supplement, trace K goes to the calcium supplement.
I don't know what ESV's A and B is, but it's probably the same as Balling.
If so:
You add for a total concentration of 5%.
