Re: [APD] Storing large amounts of RO water & reconditioning RO water

[Steve B <habubak at yahoo_com>]

Thanks Jerry, that was my next question!  I was either gonna google it or ask you where you can find that stuff...
  A follow up question for Jerry:
  You say 2 parts CaCO3 and 1 part MgCO3...  per what?  Gallon?  I'm confused regarding your terminology for dosing.
   
  Thanks for any clarification!
   
  Cheers & Gig'Em,
  Steve
