Hello,

I mixed 1100gr of powder "Calcium+" with 2 liters osmos water. And after overnight mixing with pump, solution still muddy , it seems that the powder is still not dissolved.

its normal for this powder?

The correct mixing instructions for foundation A (Calcium) are 1kg (1000g) per 1.8 litres of RODI water so it looks like you have done it right as far as the mix goes.

The colour of the water is like a bronze shade (maybe muddy) and that's how it stays in my experience and you sometimes get a bit of undissolved residue. I use a plastic whisk when mixing which helps.

Oh and welcome to R2R by the way!

Thank you! :)

That's what I have after mixing. (container in the middle)

I have GHL Stirrer , should I use it with this solution? or its normal to use it without stirrer?

Thanks!

Yes that’s what mine looks like as well. I don’t use a stirrer.
