salinity

[Ruth]

Temperature does play a role in getting an accurate reading on your salinity. I know that when I open a new bag or bucket of salt I always do a full specturm of tests on the change water to see where I am at as far as ph, calcium, alk., mag., phosphates, etc. By just dissolving salt in warm water I don't know how you would control how much you are raising your salinity. If mine were low I would use salt water as make up water for evaporation but still want to know what the salinity is and keep testing my display to see where I am at.
