Default Replinishing Ni Bath

In \"The Complete Plating Manual\" on pg 67, shows a table for replinishing.
I\'m wanting to know if my calculations are correct.
It appears that Part C is added as 2 volumes of Part A.
Let me use an example. I have depleted my 1L bath by 640 credits so I have 260 credits left. So I did a simple algebra problem like
A * 2A = 640 Nickel Credits should get me back to 900. Solving for A I get
A*A = 640/2 or A=square root of 320 which is
17.8.
So 17.8 ml of Part A plus 35.8 ml of Part C should get me back to 900. If this is correct then I have my simple formula for replenishment.
Also you don\'t mention replinshing the water. I gather that after replinshing the chemicals I can just add the water fill back to 1 liter?

By the way. Love the product! does a very nice job and it is easy to do.
