I just use IO but do see a variation between batches (different pail types so assume different batches), wouldn't be surprised same with other companies.

I'd say 1350 is a bit optimistic for magnesium levels, I've only found as high as 1100 and it usually varies 900-1100. Calcium is always 400 but I can't remember what alkalinity was. I used to test every bucket but after awhile I got lazy.

What is the salinity of the mix for all of those parameters. 1.025 or 1.026

My last H2Ocean was quite different (batch?) than the above list...I used 3/4 of the pail (new) to mix about 100gal, I tried to mix the salt as much as possible before adding to RODI water (settling etc.)...



Cal 480 Alk 6.5 Mag 1050

I should mix up the rest of the pail and see what I get...


<edit>

SG= 1.026
PH= 8.37
TEMP= 79*F
