I received my ATI ICP test results today. I am trying to make sense of their recommendations.
My total system volume is roughly 200 gallons, or as I've entered it into ATI: 757 liters.
For example, one I'm struggling with is Barium (because that's the only ATI supplement I see dosing instructions for)
My analysis shows a reading of 4.00 µg/l with a reference of 10.05 µg/l. I believe this means I should buffer this in the range of adding 6.05 µg/l.
The ATI recommendations show: Barium supplement per day 22.89 ml for 2 days. If I understand this correctly, this means to add 22.89 ml of the ATI Barium supplement for 2 days. Effectively adding 45.78 ml total buffering supplement.
However, if I look at the specs for the ATI Barium supplement, it says: 10ml per 26 gallons (100 liters) raising by 1 ug/l.
According to my quick calculations based on this, I would need to add roughly 75 ml of Barium supplement to raise my level by 1 ug/l. Considering I believe I need to add 6 ug/l, this is quite different from the ATI recommendations.
What am I missing here? Is my math wrong? Am I missing a unit conversion somewhere?
