10-20 minutes. Whenever it dissolves it goes in. In order to heat the water up - I use my electric kettle to heat up the RO water just before I start draining the water from the tank...

You use your kettle with tap water too? Leaves behind calcium and lime deposits just like the build up in a coffee pot. I'm sure some of that would be released back into the ro water if you do.
