if i put a weeks dose of b-ionic in a weeks worth of top off water would it work?

i believe it needs to mix in the system. combining them beforehand would sort of cancel itself out?

yeah, there just doesn't seem to be a simple way to get out of dosing it each day. but, if you find one i'd be interested to know.

I used to do something along these lines before I settled on my current drip system.

I had two RO water top off water jugs. One for part A and one for Part B. Be aware however that these components are not extremely stable. The calcium component can react with CO2 if exposed to air and precipitate as calcium carbonate. Likewise, the alkalinity component can absorb CO2 from the air and it can upset the ionic balance of the alkalinity component. The solution to this problem is to keep the containers tightly sealed when not in use.
