ya......you know that funny taste you get when you take a drink from the garden hose?........probably not the best thing to transport water to your tank.....

My water change steps for with my new fish room which is half complete is going to be the following:

Flip a switch to stop water flowing into water change reservoir
Flip a switch to dump reservoir
Dump premade amount of salt into resrvoir
Come back next day and flip switch to let water flow back into reservoir

The only thing I can come up with to make it easier is somehow automate the adding of the salt but I seriously dont have any good ideas for it without making it too complicated and finicky

Salinity probes are insanely expensive in my opinion.

it's a $300 accessory. but, it can be full automation on your water changing station.
