Mixing Alkalinity
What is the trick to get this completely dissolved?
No matter what I do, there is still quite a bid undissolved salt on the bottom. I'm referring to Fauna Marin brand, I even mix it with hot water without any luck. TIA |

The reason it doesn't dissolve is the calcium carbonate has precipitated out. This is what your seeing at the bottom. It is a bad batch of salt. Throw it away and get a different brand of salt.

I'm not sure exactly which product you're mixing, but the residue of an alkalinity supplement would be some sort of impurities in the product. I wouldn't worry about it. A little precipitate from a salt mix is normal, too.
