I'm interested in going the borate route. I've read everything but have one question about the acid calculation. Is the quantity based on using a 20% baume' solution?
If you are going by my "simplified but close enough for government work" formula of 30 fluid oz of muriatic acid per every 60 oz by weight of 20 mule team (which will raise 1000 gal ot 50 ppm borates and is pretty much 'right on the money"!) in the borate HWOTO that I wrote then yes, it's based on 20 baume muriatic, which is the strength commonly sold for pool use. 10 baume acid has recently hit the market (at the same price!) at some of the big box stores so if you have this (approx 15%) then you need twice as much!
