I inadvertently mix a gallon of soda ash and a gallon of magnesium with pre-mixed salt water instead of RODI water. Will they be usable or should I throw them out? Im at a loss. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks in advance
 
It would be possible to use them, but determining how much potency was lost, especially from the alk solution is a bit complicated. All of the calcium and magnesium precipitated out as carbonate and hydroxide solids. Still likely ok to use, just less potent.0

The magnesium is likely closer to normal. Just ignore the solids.
