Electrologist tank solution
Electrologist tank solution - And how much washing Soda per 5 gallons of water would you use for an effective electrologist tank mixture? Getting ready to set it up for the summer normally use TSP but have washing soda this time!

Re: Electrologist tank solution
Mine is made out of a blue plastic 55 gallon drum with 4 pieces of 3/4 inch rebar for anodes. I used about a half box of washing soda to a barrel of water. That seems to work great. I have a 2x4 that is laid across the top with some holes drilled in it and hooks made from 1/8 inch welding rods with the flux knocked of to hang parts from. I wouldn’t want anything smaller. I can hang a wheel center in it. I can do a torque tube by setting it in the barrel and doing one end and then flipping it over to do the other end. I’ve even done a hood/gas tank but had to use some straps to hold it upright so it wouldn’t touch the anodes. If I ever make another I’m going to use an IBC root beer tote and then it will be big enough to do a rear wheel. I’ve had mine set up for three years outside and never changed the solution or added more washing powder even though I’ve had to add water due to evaporation and had the solution overflow due to rain. I don’t think the amount of washing powder is critical. It would only be a guess but I’d think a half cup would be plenty in a 5 gallon bucket

Re: Electrologist tank solution
I did a trailer axle once by building a tank out of 2x6's and plastic. Supported the rebar so it would not just lay on the bottom. TSP was relatively cheap - I would use half the box when I used my 55 gallon tank

It's a product specifically called "Washing Soda." Sodium carbonate, not sodium BIcarbonate (baking soda).
Washing Soda is no longer used commonly but it was once an everyday thing that people used in their laundry.
Arm and Hammer still makes it, and you can find it at some of the better stocked rural/farm type stores, some ACE hardware stores in more rural areas, and online.

Re: Electrologist tank solution
About 10 tablespoons washing soda for 5 gallons water. Good read in following post.

Re: Electrologist tank solution
Some of the big box stores carry it, often in the paint department. Home Depot had it last time I looked there, but it has been a while.

Re: Electrologist tank solution
I just keep adding it until it no longer stays in the solution after mixing. That is as much as the water can absorb for any amount of water.
