Location, Salinity, and Parameters

[rtparty]

Heard a new one today when talking to some hobbyists.

“Depending on where you live, it will take more or less salt to reach the desired salinity and this throws off parameters.”

:thinking-face:

I think I’ve heard it all?

Altitude affects the specific gravity of air; I wonder if people have confused that with the specific gravity of water.

Also, in Australia the wavemakers spin in the other direction. :D

The example was one bucket of salt will read 8.4dkh in Minnesota at 1.026 but will read 7dkh in Texas (made up numbers to make a point)

Yeah that’s just… ugh.

Is there any truth behind this? I have never once seen any company talk about mixing salts at different amounts for altitude...
