CRS - What is it

[Screwy]

Used the water additions calculator, calls for an addition of CRS which we can't get here in Australia. Thought it may be Phosphoric Acid or some such. Anyone know what it actually is and what strength.

Cheers,

Carbonate reducing solution

I believe, but could be wrong, that it is a sulphuric and hydrochloric acids mix, thats why it reacts so well with the calcium carbonate to form calcium choride, calcium sulphate, water and carbon dioxide.

Thanks Prolix, had thoughts it was some acid solution. Wondering what I can use since we cannot get it here.
