ESV B-Ionic Turned Yellow

[jml1149]

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 seen it before. Have you used this container before? This batch?

It likely isn't a problem.

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.

The color might be from iron or other metals released.
