you would be able to add the b-ionic to 5gal of water and use it. BUT it would be pointless and a complete waster of your money. you can only treat that 5 gallons. if you over treat the 5gal, then you will precipitate the calcium out almost instantly. by dosing the 5gal you wont be able to get any noticible amount of calcium or bicarbonate into your system if you did it as you plan. the only way to automate dosing a 2 part is with a dosing pump that will dose atleast 2 seperate additives like bertoni said.
if you are looking for a way to add calcium to your system with out having to manually dose daily i would look into using Kalkwasser (limewater) as well. you should be able to use it like you want with a 5 gal bucket. just mix it in a seperate bucket so you can seperate the "useable" water after mixing.
if none of this made sense im sorry its early in the morning LOL
