i have about 1/3 of a bucket of d-d h2ocean salt that has not been mixing well lately. it has been fine for a while, but it's clumped up pretty badly. i broke it apart, but now when i try to mix it, it doesn't seem to mix well anymore (water has a lot of snowy precipitant floating around in it, even after mixing for several days).

i hate to think it, but can i assume the salt is trash?

The moisture that clumped it reacted with the sodium carbonate and calcium chloride in the salt mix to make calcium carbonate which will never dissolve.

Yeah, it's trash now.

That explains a lot. Thanks.
