anyone use pekacid as a drip clean alternative?
im reading 400gr per liter to replicate drip clean but 400gr seems like a awful lot and i would think it would have problems dissolving

Depends on water temp. If you have a magnetic stirrer, it'll make the job super easy in luke warm water. I've never used either, but have experience making concentrates that call for an obscene volume of solids to liquid. So long the powder is safe at reasonable temps (100F water or so) the slight heat helps dissolving.

It's very soluble. Add 500 ml DI/RO water to a clean vessel. Add 400g Pekacid. Top RO/DI h2O up to 1L. Shake until dissolved.
