Adding RO/DI to B-Ionic

[Sebea]

Hi,
I am using aquadosers to drip the B-Ionic two part solution into my 6 gallons system. According to the bottle's instructions, I should dose 1.5 mL of ca. and 1.5 mL of alk. per 24 hours. This would mean that I would have to dose 15 drops each per day, which means 1 drop per 96 minutes. This is not really possible, as the dosers can not drip that slow. I am wondering if I can dilute the buffers with RO/DI so that the drip rate can be raised. If I mix a solution of 3/4 RO/DI and 1/4 buffer, I could dose 1 drop per 24 minutes. This is more realistic, but I am wondering if adding the RO/DI will alter the effect of the buffers. Is this a bad idea?
Thanks!

first dont just dose by the instructions. always test your water and add what it needs. second you dont have to drip it. you can add the entire 1.5mL all at once. start with part 1, pour it into a high flow area, let the cloud go away(in a few secs) and add part 2.
