Yah they generally don't want to admit their fault. Like I was able to convince them that mg in one of their batch is below their threshold (they tested their lot sample and found the label on the lot is wrong) so atleast I had some success with them

About their heater issue, although they present it in a wrong way but the concept, to me, is sound. I don't like mixing salt with heater in it because of calcium precipitation. I generally bring the water to room temperature with heater, take it out and then mix the salt. Some salt dissolves in lesser time so having the heater in the bucket will not cause precipitation during mixing but some (like salinity) takes a long time to mix and hence precipitation occurs since heater changes the temperature quicker than the salt can mix.
