cost comparisons of liquid two parts

[Gary Majchrzak]

let's compare the prices of some popular liquid two part supplements:

ESV B-ionic and BRS/Randy's Recipe

I can make 3/4 (three fourths) of one gallon alkalinity supplement for around one dollar.
(One box of Arm & Hammer Baking soda is around 95 cents plus you need to bake it plus you need to add it to RO water).

Somebody else want to figure out how much it costs to make a similar sized batch of calcium supplement?

That's funny...I was just thinking of starting a two-part dose.

I'm tagging along!

It costs $13.49 for a one gallon bucket of calcium chloride. It takes 2.5 cups of CaCl for a one gallon solution. To stay consistant with Gary, it would take 30 ounces of CaCl to make 3/4 of a gallon solution. This works out to be $3.16. In conclusion, the total investment for a homemade two part solution is $4.11...not bad.

a gallon of part one and two B-ionic costs how much nowadays?

(which brings up another disadvantage: you can't purchase B-ionic part one or part two separately.)

a gallon of part one and two B-ionic costs how much nowadays?

$36.99

The new B-ionic bottles are actually clear so you can how much water is in them.

I like B-Ionic I get it in 5 gal buckets for 169 .that gives me 10 gals of ea so it cost me 8. 50 a gal ,But I don't go 1gal of B-Ionic to 1 gal of water . Some time more water . I can get 6 to 8 months before I order again .
