For safe mineral enrichment of low-mineralized water.
When adding 5g of Mineral salt to 100L of distilled water, you will get water with a carbonate hardness of 0.6 dH, a general hardness of 1.3 dH, electrical conductivity of 82 µS/cm, and a pH of 7.4.
Available in packs of 105g, 280g, and 2.5kg.
***************************************************************
Before I begin presenting this product, I will note that the first two dosages mentioned in the table are actually too low. It is recommended that the carbonate hardness for freshwater be at least 4 °DH, as otherwise it is difficult to achieve a stable pH in the aquarium. A lower amount of carbonate hardness (up to 3 °DH) is possible, but in this case, you must be well acquainted with the pH fluctuations in the aquarium during the day and night. If you are not familiar with the daily pH fluctuations in the aquarium, it is always recommended to maintain carbonate hardness values of not less than 4 °DH.

Composition: (at a normal dosage of 5 g per 100 liters) Sodium 4.4 mg/l, Potassium 1.4 mg/l, Magnesium 1.5 mg/l, Calcium 7.8 mg/l, Chlorides 15.0 mg/l, Bicarbonates 13.6 mg/l, Sulphates 5.9 mg/l, also contains important trace elements.
Parameters of water when adding a normal dosage (5 g per 100 liters) to chemically pure water: carbonate hardness 0.6 °DH, General hardness 1.3 °DH, conductivity 82 mS/cm, pH value 7.4.
The use of this product is very easy in practice, but I have a few additional notes: This product increases carbonate and general hardness in a KH:GH ratio of 1:2.17. If one wishes to achieve a carbonate hardness of 4 °DH, they will already have a general hardness of 8.8 °DH, which means the water can range from soft to medium hard.
Note: 4 to 8 °DH = soft water, 8 to 12 °DH = hard water, 12 °DH = very hard water.
