gregzz4 will become famous soon enough
Default

I will keep using my IO, even with the last bucket I had reading #s too high for my liking. Batch # 14267
Rolled and tested for weeks - Alk 11.5+, Ca 410(good for us who dose), Mag 1650+(not good if you perform large WCs)
Salt was very dusty instead of powdery/grainy. Had to hold my breath while taking it from the bucket and adding it to the mixing tank - dust everywhere.
It also needed 7 cups instead of 6 cups to mix 12g of water. Obviously the salt was messed up. But it still never killed anything.

I turned off my Mag pump 6 weeks ago and have just turned it back on this week as it took 2 weeks for it to drop enough to start dosing again.

I test my new salt water before each WC to keep an eye on things and adjust it accordingly
