What is the "Strength" of the Alkalinity Component (3a + 3b)?

[Dr. Jim]

Does any one know how much "X" ml of 3a+b will raise the dKH by 1 unit in "Y" gallons?

For example: The recommended starting dosage is 2ml of 3a AND 2ml of 3b per 25 gallons. How many dKH is that adding to the 25 gallons?

And, is it revealed anywhere how much soda ash and bicarbonate is in the solutions?

Thanks.

I learned that a combination of the two Triton alkalinity components (3a and 3b) have a combined Alk of 9750 dKH/L (pers. comm. with Julian Baggio, Triton, Germany)

The ratio of Carb to Bicarb is proprietary, but Julian said:

"If your system is set up according to the TRITON Method and you are dosing Core7 at a rate that maintains your Alkalinity between 7 and 8dKH then your pH should mostly sit just above 8."

Thanks again, Julian, for helping!
