Now I never get any residue when I mix salt.. not once.. I mix it to 1.026 or a little higher. I put it into a bunch of cold RO and then mix it with my paint mixer for 5 min.. totaly desolved. if I use a power head it takes a couple hours. the paint mixer was the best thing I have bought for my tank yet.. go figure

I do not dispute that it might be better but what I do dispute is a lot of people's reason for changing.. the main one being because Dr. so and so said it was better in a article.. if you look at previous tests that were done it actualy tested out to very different values than it claimes..

As for Dr. Mac's responce that you posted

"My reason for the switch was that MEI was more open to working with me with direct purchases than IO and MEI is fairly local for me. "

to me that says that because MEI would sell directly to him and not though a reseller, and that it was closer, his costs would be a lot cheeper.

Money it is all about money, the cheeper you can get it the more you will make selling it... and of course you are not going to say anything bad about the hand that feeds you, not good business after all.

I look at every statment by a bussiness with a sceptical eye and take it with a grain of salt (pardon the pun ) not that they are crooked or anything like that but they have to make a living as a business and any business man when it comes down to the wire will look after himself first.

Heck maby we should be buying PI water to mix out salt in..
