heres a story from a customer at the shop.....he is a member here but shall remain anonymous
  ....said member realized or read or whatever that sodium bicarbonate dissolves quicker when you stir it into hot water....he had the idea to do the same think with his bulk calcium additive ......he said the second the boiling water hit the calcium it literally exploded and sent some of the calcium flakes shooting throughout the room!.....he said the resulting heat generated by the mixture nearly melted through the 5g bucket he was using ......so lesson learned is.....cold water only for mixing your bulk Ca solutions!

Oh so true, I have noticed that adding calcium added to cold water causes steam to rise from the pail and the water temp rises quickly.
Good tip Dougster
