Three things we have noticed that indicate precipitation...

1. white chalky ring around the rubbermaid container at the water line, which is easy to remove with a sponge

2. white chalky residue around the sides below the water line and at the bottom of the rubbermaid container, which is relatively easy to remove with a sponge

3. white chalky stuff adhering to heaters and powerheads, which require vinegar to remove

This is with both IO and Kent salts. Have never used other salts for comparison.
