I usually drop one of my seio 620's in a 5g bucket that I'm mixing with IO. Sometimes I've seen the small particles, but they usually go away.

I've had small white sediment at the bottom of my mixing tank ever since I started a new bag of IO salt. The bag had hardened clumps of salt, as though moisture had got into the bag. The particles never dissolve. Every few weeks I scoop them out with a small net.

One time I saw this film of flaky stuff floating on the water surface from mixing it... I just got a net and scooped as much out as I could.

If you grab the round white things and rub it between your fingers, does it break down?
