Leave the water to sit for at least 24 hours with a water pump that causes surface agitation. Add a heater to bring it up to tank temperature. This can be turned off after if you are not going to use the water right away. Then when you are mixing your salt, leave the water pump and heater running for another 12 to 24 hours afterwards.

I have seen low pH water from CO2 cause problems with Calcium and Magnesium when mixing salt before. Low temperature and lack of mixing have caused issues with cloudiness/precipitation.
