I had originally posted this in the cannabis infirmary section but can't figure out how to delete a post. I figured this is a better spot.
I keep reading all over multiple forums that a solid way to keep your reservoir clean, is by using calcium hypochlorite.
The recipe says to make a stock solution of 1g to one gallon of water. The stock solution is then mixed at 6ml/gal (or 1fl oz for 5 gallons).
That breaks down to 0.0015625 grams per gallon.
However, looking around camping and survival forums, the same calcium hypochlorite is used to treat water in an emergency to make sure it is safe for human consumption.
The recipe for the drinking water says to make a stock solution of 7g of the calcium hypochlorite to 2 gallons of water. That stock is then mix at a ratio of 1:100 stock solution to water.
That breaks down to .035g per gallon.
That means the concentration of calcium hypochlorite is 22.4 times stronger for drinking water than it takes to keep your reservoir clean...
This doesn't seem to add up to me. Does anyone have any actual experience with the reservoir solution and rate recommendations based on real life experience
