This is my current setup - slop sink to RODI system into RODI holing tank, gravity feeding the salt tank below. Salt tank has a powerhead and heater in it so it's already ready to go.

No laughing here my friend. What pump do you use to mix
I just use a 400 GPH submersible pump that I got for $12 on Amazon like 3 years ago.
*really intended for pumping water out through a hose (which is what I originally bought it for) but works fine for mixing (for me),,, I just lay it sideways

The one I bought isn't listed on Amazon anymore but looks like this:

*there's better options for mixing anyway

I use 5 gallon buckets though I'm constantly refilling and remixing them... I'm hoping I can talk my husband into letting me set up a brute can situation outside but he's already vetoed it once!
