I'm currently dosing 2 part and adding Mg manually. How many dosers are required for the Triton method?

You can but there is a risk of precipitation.

We have people who have combined 3A&B since day one (myself included) and never had a problem, however some have so the company line is to dose them as a 4 part.

IF you wanted to dose as a 3 part then it would be 3A&B with 8L of RO/DI to make a 10L solution, but you do it at your own risk.

I mix 3a and 3b but I do it with the 9l each as the original instructions, and then mix them together. That way there's way less chance of crystallization or precipitation. Then I dose double the amount of the 3a and 3b solution, compared to the other 2 parts.
