Dissolve together in about 800 ml water while stirring:

Dissolve each of these separately in about 100 ml water, then add together to the big beaker while stirring:
|
|
NaHCO3
|
10.24
|
0.86
|

|
|
NaH2PO4
|

|

|

Adjust pH to 6.8.
Filter sterilise and store in fridge.
(Total Osmolality 354)
If the saline throws a precipitate, discard the saline- you'll have lost all the Ca++ and Mg++ as (very) insoluble phosphates.
