But when i add every 3 - 4 day's maybe that's Was fuckt up when i add the recommendations 0,1g to 10 Gallon then i add more water to my reservoir maybe 10 gallons after days so i have maybe 15 gallon so i add again 0,15g pool again and so on maybe the Chlorine levels has increase öfter the time? But you say it's getting veporised over time?
Make $2200 worth of "Clear Rez" for $4 !!!

how accurate is your scale? there is a big difference between adding 0.1 grams and 0.17 grams if you don't have a scale that accurate.
Yeah i have a scale.. What i mean is you say adding 0,1g per 10gallon Ever 3 day's so but what is when the Chlorine increase every 3 day's and not vaporized in that short time??
My Plants looking good feeding them with that solution

is it accurate to 0.01 grams ? if it is only accurate to 0.1 grams, it's not a good enough scale

you need to weigh something on it with a known weight. 1 US dime weighs 2.268 grams and my scale will show 2.26 so it's accurate to 0.01
your display doesn't necessarily determine accuracy
I have a Oz of Silver here amerika Eagle
My weight is litte over the right weight so better then under

I mix 25 grams into A 4 Liter jug then add 5ml per 20 litres in my Rez. Then I only mix new jug every grow. So in my 220 Liter Rez I use 50 ml every 4-5 days.

I saw a lot of literature on a new product trying to differentiate between sodium hypochlorite, and hypochlorous acid and why that if you use bleach or calcium hypochlorite, you won't have the same solution that they advertise: with the active ingredient being hypochlorous acid.
I don't remember the product but then I started remembering some of my basic pool chemistry (I'm a retired pool guy, and total water geek).
So here's a little secret everybody should know...
The only difference between hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid is...
The pH!!!
It's as simple as that folks. When you change pH from a positive above seven most of the chlorine in the solution are hypochlorite ions with a small percentage being hypochlorous.
When the pH goes below seven, the effectivity of chlorine ramps up significantly.
All that to say this - by adding calcium hypochlorite to your reservoir and keeping your reservoir's pH in range (5.7 to 6.2) all that hypochlorite turns into hypochlorous acid magically all by itself. You did the job and you didn't even know it.
And that folks gives you the same active ingredient that they're trying to tell you is different.

Isn't hypochlorous acid produced with electricity and table salt in water? I've seen and I think the old lady has a little plug in electrolysis spray bottle product that is supposed to produce hypochlorous acid as a cleaning product.

Not sure about that product but is seems like several proprietary "pet odor" products I have tried for actual pet odors is some sort of a hydrogen peroxide solution ?

That's exactly how a salt water pool works. It splits water into hydrogen and oxygen and the salt bonds with the oxygen becoming chlorine. I always laugh at people when they tell me how proud they are of their chemical free saltwater pools .Isn't hypochlorous acid produced with electricity and table salt in water? I've seen and I think the old lady has a little plug in electrolysis spray bottle product that is supposed to produce hypochlorous acid as a cleaning product.
It's the same exact chlorine molecule that you're going to get with household bleach or swimming pool chlorine.
And if you need it to be hypochlorous – lower the pH below seven. They all do the same thing. And the math is easily obtainable on the web to get the right concentrations. I'm just lazy right now. And enjoying my only buzz of the day .

What up guys. I’m going nuts looking for non ph buffered shock. Google shows it doesn’t have chlorine in it. So no cal hydro stuff which is all the htx products just different amounts of calcium. The other is a sodium which I have in a spa cleaner with something else. It’s just not in front of me.
Or am I reading to much into it and this is the stuff
