Sulfamic Acid pH adjustment

How much sulfamic acid I need to adjust the pH of 1000 gallon from 10 to 1.

Hi, Wanda. The answer is: ten thousand times as much as you need to adjust a 1/10 of a gallon test sample :-)

There is no other way to know. Good luck with the titration and the adjustment. Never create a large batch of witches brew by adding chemicals to a large batch until you have added those chemicals to a jar of it, verified the result, and scaled up. Good luck.
