Has anyone ever seen the Alk part of ESV B-Ionic turn yellow? I mixed according to directions, and added to acrylic dosing containers. Started out a little cloudy, but now the Alk part has a yellow tinge to it. Any suggestions? Pictures are tough. The Ca container right next to it remains clear. I have removed all other stuff in the area, still yellow.

I dose with a DOS, with new dosing heads.



Thanks in advance.

I've not used the container or even this product before. Thank you for the response. The container is covered with a lid, and the dose line is not in the water.

I did use a 90 degree john guest fittin in the line, could it have corroded the bits?

It's plastic, right? Metals will corrode and can discolor the water.
