Nice, thanks Tulse. Government says U.S. average is 11,280 kWh per year, for overall average of 1.3 kW. But consumption is higher during the day, so maybe figure 2 kW.

So our reactor is good for around 2500 homes, assuming they’re not plugging in electric cars. And to run it for a year we need 25 boxes of 20 Mule Team Borax Natural Laundry Booster.
I don’t know how many people use Borax, but the neighborhood’s probably using more than that actually doing the laundry.
