Reaching out for some help with TMPR salt mixing. I've been using this salt for years and have recently run into some inconsistencies when mixing.
I'm mixing roughly 35 gallons of RODI with TMPR salt in a brute trash can with a sicce pump and heater. I target 1.026 and have been getting really low magnesium and calcium of late compared to what the salt should be mixing to.
The water I mixed today measured as follows:
SALINITY: 1.026
ALK: 6.6
CAL: 400
MAG: 1150
Is mixing at 80-83 degrees causing precipitation to occur or something?
Is adding RO to bring down the salinity when adding too much salt perhaps causing this?
I assume it's okay to dose these elements to bring up to the proper levels, but feel I shouldn't have to be doing this.
Any insight and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
