    No, I do mine in place and pull them dry with vacuum pump and then let them sit for a week before coiling them up for the off season. Peroxide breaks down into pure water over time. Use food grade only.

    You leave the spouts in the tree or pulled and put in the tee when flushing?

    1280x.03 divided by .35 (the active ingredient strength of your concentrate) = 109.71 ounces of Hydrogen Peroxide into 1170.29 ounces of permeate or water

    put the 109.71 ounces in your container and fill to 10 gallons

    for one gallon 10.97 ounces 35% in a container and fill to one gallon

    Of course it's easier just to round up and make it a bit stronger.
    Thank you!!
