Hi group

i accidently poured about 1.5 gallons of freshly mixed calcium chloride into approx 1/3 gallon of my alk mix (sodium carbonate/bicarb mix).

can i do anything with this or should i just junk it. if i do a balaced equation, i know the bulk is still calcium chloride with calcium carbonate mix.

advice please

grrrrr just trying to top up chemicals before i leave on vacation... murphys law sucks:sad:

What is this an episode of Breaking Bad ?!

I would just start over and make a mental note not to do it again, I would be 2nd guessing myself after the calculations anyways.

Oh and Murphy always gets his man... You ALWAYS need to load up on Karma points before vacation!

Dump it and start over

The precipitation will be a big snow storm, nevermind the havoc on your impellers, heaters etc
