Dosing Sodium Hydroxide

[KClark]

I am new to this and my ph is very low 7.5. I need to make it higher and want to try this. I need to know how to mix it and dose it safely. Thanks for any help Kevin

Bear in mind that it is just a high pH alk supplement. Dose only as much as you need alk, even if it does not bring up your pH as much as you want.

Use this calculator and the entry for Randy's Recipe #1, but do not do that all in one dose as ph will shoot up too much.
