I've been using Fritz Blue bucket for about a year now and has always mixed up clear and fast. I recently mixed up a barrel and saw alot of white powder on my mixing pump and around the surfaces of the container, and the water never got fully clear. I had a heater in the drum and assumed it got too hot and caused the precipitation, so I just discarded that drum of saltwater and made up a new drum. Without a heater, I mixed up the salt, and the next day saw the same thing. White powder on the pump and water not fully clear, but not quite as bad as the last batch with the heater.
Anyone else having this issue? it's only been recent for me. It does seem I mixed a bit too much salt in, but only got 36-36.5ppt with a refractometer. I don't think that much would cause precipitation.
Would water with some precipitation be safe to use, or am I more likely to screw up my water parameters by using it?
