this is what i do, check existing kh level in the tank. dissolve one tea spoon with water and pour in then measure kh again. With this, you should know 1 tea spoon raise how many dkh.

thats no short cut your doing... by what u say, ur going thru' the whole testing process again... what the programmer/tester have already done for you.

Pick the traditional method. The parameters are simple, you just need to supply 3 pieces of info:

Enter ur tank volume, choose liters

Enter ur tank current, choose dKH,

Enter ur desired level you wish to have, and click on calculate.

go one step further... add a "time" or periodic factor to it... it makes more sense as since you are replacing loss kH, why not find out how much you lose within a certain period of time, that will need replacing.
