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.
I like to have my water at 79/80 before I add it to my DT. Also the results were not after dumping salt in. I checked multiple times after mixing
