My thoughts exactly. I know the alkalinity is off, but what else is too? I will not use it at all until I here from them what the situation is.

Well I tested my bucket last night and unfortunately, my bucket is screweed as well.

I fired off another letter to Kent, I was thinking this morning, if they send us a new bucket through UPS, we would have to pay a 30 - 50$ brokrage fee. I wonder if they could just send a pallet of replacement buckets to one place so we can all just pick it up from there. Of course I am talking about all the local LOWER mainlanders that are affected by this.

[whatever]

FYI I took my bad bucket into J&L and was given full credit for the bucket with no hassles what-so-ever. They simply subtracted the cost of one bucket of Kent salt from my total purchases.

Thanks Allen.

Allen told me that as long as we bring in our receipt, we will get the credit.

Have anybody got replacement buckets from KENT? Any updates? I sent an email a week ago and i haven't received a reply so I'm wondering if something else is going on......

I got a call from John at Kent Marine, they confirmed I had a bad batch, he is sending me an email on my options. Apparently I might even be able to get some lighting products? who knows. Anyways.. he told me the old salt is still good, just needs to be buffered.

He told me my Alk was 0.913 and my Cal was 600 something.
