ESV B-Ionic Alkalinity container has solid chunks in it?

[George]

That is normal for ESV B-Ionic. I used to use their 2-part and the alkalinty bottle, especially the concentrate one, had heavy percipitation, solid block on the bottom. Other than shaking, you have to heat it. Flow it on some hot water and give it a good shake from time to time. Also make sure you fill it first if you are using the concentrate version.
