Wanted to ask for users of the ESV B-ionic 4g bucket users, how are you mixing the alkalinity part after rehydrating?
I have a tough enough time just shaking and warming the 1 gallon jug to fully dissolve the mix.
Can you drop a small powerhead in the bucket or will that kill the powerhead or compromise the solution?
1 gallon is only lasting me 42 days currently so after I rehydrate a 4g bucket, will it be good for 160 days in your opinion?

TIA
