Hi Kevin,
I've used IO for over 11 years now.
Always mix in either 5 gal bucket with either city of Edmonton water, Primed, (when I was still living in the city), or with RO water, not heated.
I don't wait pver night like most of you. I usually just mix really well, wait until water is clear, then using a smaller bucket, scoop and toss back in a few time to mix really well.
Then I use directly. No heating...the RO water is stored in 5 gal water jugs that bottled water comes in, so the water is not exactly very cold.
After water-change, I use a towel to wipe the buckets dry before storing until next use.
The only time that I get that cruddy-calcium-like deposits on the sides of the bucket is when I had some left over salt water made, and was storing it for a week or so...
Hope this helps.
Lenny.
