Did you think to take a measuring cup and keep track of the amount of water you pour into the soaking tank to get capacity?

Or were you just wanting to get the product name posted to glean interest and hits from a google search?

No I don't want to buy a container when I can use my stainless steel sink. I need to figure out how much solution to use per gallon of water which is not posted on the bottle. It states use with Respikit soaking tank.

I would never use a product requiring diluting with water if the product didn't clearly state the ratio on the container.

All they want is to force people to buy more of their product...and waste more money.

You might email the company and ask them.

Your money and your time but this product could potentially harm your equipment and it's a total waste of money.
Hot soapy water will do just as good of a job at killing anything on your equipment and besides...once you touch your equipment you are just contaminating it all over again unless you wear sterile gloves (and that's assuming the "cleaning" product actually kills anything) when you touch your equipment again....like when removing it from the "cleaning" agent solution or hell...even putting the mask on your face at bedtime.

Please excuse me if I don't have your experience with the machine or accessories or the care thereof. I am continually looking for anything that can help me keep contaminants out of my throat.
Six years ago I had 35 radiation treatments to my throat, and everything that comes along attacks my compromised anatomy. So I try things that others may not. Thank you for your input.

Like I said....your time and your money.

Given your history maybe you should consult your physician as to best ways to alleviate your concerns.

As far as your original tank capacity question...I don't know of anyone here using that product so we are of zero help.
Most people use just soap and water.

Perhaps contacting the company directly is an option.

Wow, how much do they charge for that kit? They claim the solution is 2% oxychloro complex species. I bet they charge a lot for that.

The most common use of oxychloro complex is as a preservative in expensive eye drops.

Doesn't the use of the sink defeat the stated purpose of RespiKit - disinfection?

I'm skeptical that the use of this product would do anything as well as only using distilled water in the humidifier and cleaning occasionally with dish soap and water.
