mine is metal, I rince it off with fresh water when I am done mixing.. no rust yet.

I do the same as most of you as well. I add an airstone in to speed up the process. Doing a mix and dump as a bad idea on account of the levels are not set yet. The salt may look mixed in but its still way to hot for the tank( chemically hot, not physically) A day of mixing with powerhead, heat and air added to me should be an absolute minimum. just my $0.02
