For everyone who doesn't have a dedicated mixing station... what's your protocol to clean and store buckets, heaters, + submersible pumps after you finish mixing?

- Love Kait!
 
Rinse with fresh water after each use. Air or towel dry.
 
Thanks, but not what you think. When I worked someone told me I was the nosiest person he had ever met.
At the time I was into CB radio & I made Snoopy my "handle".
 
I have 2x 5gallon buckets, 1xhomedepot, 1xlowes. One is orange and one is blue. Blue is clean water and orange is dirty. I have a standard syphon to transfer water. I use the cheapest pump I could find locally for mixing and a tiny tiny heater. I think it is rated for 2.5-5 gallons. When I am done mix, I just toss everything outside on the back porch and leave it till the next time I need it. I don't rinse the buckets or equipment. I haven't needed to replace anything in about 18 months.
