Can you still get bacteriostat? Grandad used to put the powders into our old dipper on a Saturday night after dipping then just top up on Sunday morning and resume. But that was a 3000l dip tank.NO.
There will a bacterial build up, unless there was a bacteriostat added at end of first day.
Check your products data sheet.
To me the risk would be to great, especially with the warm weather.

Don't do it.I would add new dip solution, but would save disposal cost a bit if could same water.
I know we used to use them as our water pressure meant it took ages to fill the old dip. But Grandad always reckoned it wasn’t a good thing. Better with fresh clean start every morning, by lunchtime the second day the dip wash was looking pretty rancid. I was 8 when the old one was filled in. It sprang a leak and after 3 attempts at skimming it up he gave up, filled it in and built the smaller 1200litre one we use nowBack in the good old days, the bacteriastat powders were included with the dip. They were to put in when done at night, and only allowed to use it the next day…. certainly not a week later.
They stopped including the bacteriastat before we’d stopped dipping, so a good few years ago, probably so they’d sell more dip by making you empty it each day!
In with OP? How much do you add?Always put zinc sulphate in here.
1% EG, 1000L dip, 10kg zinc. thats what we been told, others will say different.In with OP? How much do you add?
Not very technical probably about 5kg to 1000litres.In with OP? How much do you add?
