i ordered Esv B-ionic 2 part gallon jugs, alk and calcium, and the alkalinity jug is frozen.
The calcium part didn’t freeze, although they were in the same box. It says on the jugs store above 60 degrees.
My question is, has the cold affected these solutions at all? Are they still usable? Are they still as potent?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don‘t and reason why this should be an issue chemical wise.

I‘d anyhow check if the Container is still ok/Right as the Frozen Solution has „Pumped it up“

I don’t know about the alk specifically but in dealing with chemicals a lot you don’t want them to get too cold. Certain chemicals will separate when too cold, I just don’t know if that is the case here.

Should be no problem. Just make sure to thoroughly mix the contents after it has completely thawed.
