(rephrase)

I have actually asked this question here myself a while ago (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1021959) and learned from chemical experts that there is no exactly corresponding English technical term.
It basically says: add PRODUCT X to water, not the other way round. (With acid and water, there always has to be an excess of water in the kettle during mixing, otherwise you might get sort of an explosion.)
Peer comment(s):
agree Zareh Darakjian Ph.D. : Yes, the emphasis here is on the safe and accepted procedure: adding acid to water and not the other way round. // Yes, Dr. Schulz.. but I think the mode of addition had to be made clearer as it was in your answer...

Thank you, Zareh! This answer was actually meant to be an addendum to the suggestion you had already posted.

or "corresponding amount of water", for a more literal translation.
Peer comment(s):
agree Walter Herzberg : For decalcifying, 1 part of product X is diluted 1 : 4 with water by adding it to the corresponding amount of water

dilute Product X by adding it to water

is how I see it, i.e. water is premeasured and present in the vessel before Product X is added
Peer comment(s):
agree Jack Becconsall : Yes, otherwise the second part of the sentence would be meaningless
