I tried a bucket but I was having some problems with STN towards the end of the bucket. I can't directly attribute it to the salt but I can't pin down the problem to anything else so I've gone back to Kent. FWIW, it mixes up fine and seemed okay at the time. Kent is the same price here and its 200gal instead of 160 so you can't beat that. Originally, I switched because I was a bit leery of the Kent after that alkalinity fiasco but my new bucket of Kent checked out fine.
