This is a continuation of an old thread. Here were the ground rules on that thread if I remember them correctly.

You mix up a batch of salt. You must identify the following parameters in order to post----

Brand of Salt
Specific Gravity
Temperature
Type of water (RO Water, RO/DI water, or whatever other type of water you are using).
How long you mixed it and what your mixing procedure is.
Brand of Test kit
Calcium level
Power of Hydrogen level
Alkalinity level
Magnesium level
Phosphates (if known)
Any other level that you have a test kit for.

And as you have succinctly pointed out Cazoo, we should state dKH vs meq/l and salinity vs SG.

This is not a scientific study. Obviously someone mixing up a batch of a brand of salt with de-chlorinated tap water is going to have higher calcium levels than if they mixed that same batch of salt with RO/DI water. The purpose is to identify trends. This is an important issue.
