Ran out of Core7 3b and the replacement will not arrive until the 19th.

So I realized that I ran out of Triton Core7 3B this morning, and upon searching, can't find the refill carton that I thought I had. I ordered the 5L Jugs a few days ago but they will not arrive until the 19th. I looked around and it lists 3B as Alkalinity + Trace, which is the same as 3a, but i'm assuming that is a mixture of different trace elements than 3b. I do have a container of the original base elements (the one that isn't core7) that was mistakenly sent to me around a year and a half ago, however I've previously been told that it isn't the same mixture. Is this something I can use to substitute until the refill jugs arrive? There is still a little 3b left in the dosing line, I doubt it will last more than a day though. Anyone got better ideas?

I have a whole liter of 1,2,3a, and 3b mixed and not going to use. It’s other methods though.

@Julian@Triton,

I have had two containers of 3B for a while now, due to a spill of two containers of freshly made 3A solution. I also thought there is/was a difference, but I have recently read posts from Julian that said 3A and 3B are the same.
I am of the understanding that this has been the case all along and why they can be mixed.

I fully intend to mix and use these without the 3A part when my dosing container needs a refill unless I learn otherwise.
So this is one mans answer and a response to bump the thread.

I'm not sure what the actual difference between the triton method version and the other methods version is, might work for me. Where are you located?

I personally would dose alkalinity solution in place of 3B. Then when the shipment arrives do a water test.

You can mix them as they are now the same. Originally they were slightly different but this is no longer the case. Mix away

so in theory i can just increase the dose of 3a until the new jug arrives? Or should I just manually dose on top of what I currently have set on the doser

Yes. Double dose 3a to maintain all your levels.

Yes. Double dose 3a to maintain all your levels.

Just to be sure,I have always mixed 3 A and 3B (bulk edition) together but now that they are the same I can mix 3A powder and use it and then mix 3B powder and use it.

 

[K7BMG]

Yes that is true.
As I have come to understand.

Julian?

Yes this is correct.
