I can't seem to win. My goal is to mix fresh salt water with ideal params and no brown sludge. I'm not finding much luck doing so with various salts. My goal is 400+ ca, 1400mag, and 9 alk
Instant ocean-
Mixes brown(-), 10alk(-)
Fritz rpm-
Mixes more brown than IO(2x-), 8.5-9alk(+)
Tropic Marin pro
Mixes clean(+), low alk of 7(-)
Tropic Marin classic
Mixes clean (+), 9alk(+), lower ca and mag (2x-)
I really want to keep alk swings low as I do awc at night so I don't want to drop alk suddenly. I also want to have salt ready for large changes that won't swing alk. Lastly I'm not really fond of the idea of mixing tm pro and dosing baking soda to hit the right alk because that means I'm testing my stored water frequently AND it has to gas off for 24 hours.
I'd use fritz if it didn't produce so much brown sludge.... How big of a deal is that?
