Eric, I am doing before and after water chemistry analysis on the 250 Gallons of Calcis I applied.

Here is the guaranteed minimum values off the label.....

Guaranteed Minimum Analysis
Calcium Carbonate* (CaCO3)................................72.5%
Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3)..........................0.74%
Calcium (Ca)............................................................26.9%
Magnesium...............................................................0.3%
Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CCE)....................73.3%
Calcium Oxide Equivalent (Ca)............................37.66%
Effective Neutralizing Value (ENV).......................73.3%
Suspended Solids.....................................................>70%
*Derived from: Calcitic lime - 1 gallon = 15.66 lbs,
contains 11.6 lbs of calcitic lime or 4.64lbs of Ca
Net Weight: 15.66 lbs per gallon
Particle Size Information
Percent solids passing �
200 mesh screen......................................................100%
