Default Acid copper plating set up question

All the experts....Please can anyone give advice on the following questions regarding acid copper plating tank setup:

1/ I have received 2 x 2 kg bags of copper salts = 4kg total, on each bag it states add 1084cc battery acid. Does anyone know how to convert the 1084cc into uk ml or floz?

2/ In the manual it shows a picture of an agitation pump in the tank setup,when i purchased the tripple chrome plating kit no pump was included, do i need one....is it essential?

1cc = 1ml
1cc = 0.03381402 oz.
1cc = 0.03519506 oz (UK)

Agitation is esential to prevent hydrogen bubbles forming on the surface of the plating which will produce pits in the finish.
