Hello guys,

today I found in my cellar 3 boxes of "Tangayika salts" which I got many years ago at Vichy (AFC congress).

In the box there is not the recipe but I remember it was the one published
on the RFC many years ago.

Is there anyone who remember it and could tell me how much of this salts you have to put in osmosis water?

Thanks a lot,

Paolo

The water composition is it :
Valeurs en milligramme/litre



-Le Carbonate de sodium: NA2CO3 =125 (anhydre)

-Le Chlorure de potassium: NCl = 59

-Nitrate de potassium KNO3 = 0,5

-Carbonate de lithium Li2CO3 = 4

-Carbonate de calcium CaCO3 = 30

-Carbonate de magnesium MgCO3 = 144

-Sulfate d'aluminium Al2(SO4)318H2O = 5

-Sulfate de potassium K2SO4 = 4

-Sulfate de sodium NA2SO4 = 1

-Chlorure ferrique FeCl36H2O = 0,5

-Phosphate de sodium NA3PO4H2O = 0,4

-Silicate de sodium NA2SiO3 = 13,5

____________________________________

For 100 litres of osmosis water:

-22.7 gr de bicarbonate de sodium.


-6.0 gr de carbonate de potassium.

-6.3 gr de chlorure de calcium.

-22.3 gr d'hydrocarbonate de magnésium.

-2.3 gr de silicate de sodium.
(ou 9,50ml de solution à 1,33 de densité).

Thank you very much Benoit for the very quick reply!

So you mean 60g of that salts powder for 100 liters of "osmosised" water?
