I actually complained to a prochem supplier who was in the place where i get my chemicals. i did some research and now use Solutions UK concentrated acid rinse i would say that its ten times more economical. Just 40 millilitres goes into a full tank in my portable machines solution tank its brilliant stuff its supposed to have an inhibitor too

Yes thats it "final phase" i brought 20 litres of it probably a year ago now, still have half left, Prochems product is dishwater compared to this stuff. 10ml per litre thats nearly 500ml in a full tank compared to about 60ml in a full tank using final phase its a bit more to buy but nearly ten times stronger, i keep it in a fabric conditioner bottle and have a measured amount marked on the bottle top.

For a dedicated acid rinse HM Clearwater rinse think its the same as the Solutions stuff.

Fib Fab in the chemical jug at 250ml to the full jug of water ( 22L I think ). Meter set to 2ish

Works just fine according to the PH tape
