Anyone else having issues with it not dissolving clearly even after a couple days? This is like the second or third time Ive had this problem and was wondering if Im the only one. This after two days...

Sounds like you are stirring it counter-clockwise. Try the other direction! :D:lauging:

Jim, I go thru a LOT of RC. No, I haven't had that problem. Usually an hour or less. Quick question:

Anything in the bucket like Kalk, or any possibility that you are using non-RO water (water with a lot of Ca in it)?

One more thought. How warm is the water? I mix mine with a pump that tends to warm it up a bit. But, if it's outside or in the garage...

:eek: i just bought 4- 160 gallon buckets

These are the buckets Ive been using to mix for years, I dont think theres any contamination, I think though that Ill give them a good cleaning with vinegar and see what happens.,.... Thanks for the thought!

I use the same salt,, never had that problem

I have used RC for several years and love it. I usually warm the water with old heater and old power head to speed the mixing. Never had the cloud last for more than a few hours.

Could it be the container you are using to mix it in?
Do you have kids that could have contaminated the salt? I recently found my kids pouring some RC into a friends ant-farm to see if the ants wanted some salt...
