Dowflake Xtra and Randy's 2-Part
The original formula from Randy is to use 500grams/Gallon of Dow Flake, which is/was 77-80% pure Calcium Chloride
The new stuff is Dowflake Xtra and is 83-87% pure Because of it's higher concentration, it's been recommended to use 8% less of the Xtra version, so 460grams/Gallon If you're using the new Xtra version, how much are you mixing ? |

I actually mix a slightly higher concentration for both cal and alk so I don't have to dose as much. Just make sure the two are balanced.

The stuff I got was through acklands granger. I've been using it for over a year and have dosed over 50 lbs in that time.

Anyone else using the Xtra stuff ?
Any issues in keeping Alk and Ca balanced with the higher purity ? |

I use a different brand pellet that is 93 to 97% so by weight its even more concentrated.
