i can guarantee you that thousands and thousands of successful systems also don't us IO.

it was / is not my intention to bash IO or say there is anything wrong with it. i have only been in SW for about 7 or 8 years and had never used IO. i bought a few pails at the BA's boxing day sale because of the price and all the online praise of the salt. from my testing it was low in all the important params, mixed poorly, had stuff floating on top and left a residue on my heater and mixing pump.

maybe i just expected to much after years of reading how good the stuff was.
