Wood bleach

After you are done using your solution, It must be disposed of properly! I used to dump it on the back half of our property, right on the base of our fence where our backyard slopes into my neighbors park-like yard. Until a fellow CABER told me what he does with it, I regularly dumped it into my neighbors yard, laughing as I watched it run towards their fat little kid's swings and slide playset. What I do now, is use it as a mixer for the wife's regular afternoon pitcher of Lime Ricky's. She claims it's tart and refreshing! She enjoys it. As a side note, the fillings in her teeth [ that have turned black over the years] are now bright silver. Powerful stuff.

Thank you. I always felt it a waste to pour all that OA into the dirt. A few ice cubes and we have a nice summer drink.

I have my Kiddie pool up on the low sloping Patio roof and just leave it there all year. I keep it filled year round for the Doves and Pigeons that line my roof ridge. Yall know how cold it gets here in AZ so I dump my old used anti-freeze in it to sweeten it up a little and keep it from freezing during the cold AZ nights. The birds love it!

Any volume of water has a limited capacity to suspend salts in a soluble state so too much salt, in this case, OA salts, and it will precipitate out of its aqueous state and deposit onto the surface of your parts as a scale. Higher concentrations of OA just means greater capacity to complex with the available ions it has affinity for. In our case that is iron. This being said, as was stated above, less salt to start with, perhaps 1 tablespoon per gallon, should be adequate in providing enough material to complex with available iron oxide without leaving behind a scale. Previous posts are also correct by suggesting the use of warm water in that it will effectively speed up the ion exchange AND help with maintaining solubility during the process. The ideal set up would be a continuously heated and agitated solution but that takes dedicated equipment and space. Hope this helps and good luck.
