Brew your own ocean: What do you use for a water mixing container?
Whether you buy your saltwater pre-mixed, mix your saltwater in a 5-gallon bucket, use a brute trash can, or you have a fully automated mixing station that is connected to your RODI system and has a dedicated pump, controller, TDS meters, solenoids, water level sensors, leak detectors, auto-shutoff, and more, we all need to get our saltwater to 35 ppt or 1.026 specific gravity. How do you mix your saltwater? Do you have any tips about storing RO water or saltwater? Maybe you have tips about plumbing for saltwater mixing stations? Please share your approach to mixing saltwater in the discussion thread!
