    Amery - I just add PhDown until it won't dissolve into the water
    anymore. I mix mine in a separate container (a quart measuring cup)
    and then pour it into my crock pot. Next time I mix up a new batch,
    I'll measure the amounts so I can be more accurate for you. Generally
    I add some PhDown to the water and stir - when it's all dissolved,
    I'll add some more PhDown and so on until the water simply will not
    absorb any more. Then I heat it up, and generally the last tiny bit
    that didn't dissolve in the intial mixing, does dissolve in the
    heated up water. I realize this is not very scientific, but it's the
    method I've used all these years and it works for me. 

    Perhaps some chemistry person can give you a scientific explanation.
    Not having studied chemistry I can't.
