I may switch salt.

Is precipitation the only concern? I was concerned that the elevated levels may cause harm.

Definitly roll your bucket! Stirring won't do a whole lot because you generally don't go any further than half way down.

Half way down is giving me too much credit . . . I maybe got 1/3 of the way down.

I'm about 1/2 way through the bucket. I'll roll it when I get home, though I may be through the bulk of the excess calcium layer by now.

has anyone ever tested salt mix with a bucket that has been rolled vs. one that has not been rolled?
I have never rolled my buckets. and never have issues.
I use IO, but have tried others. not sure but I think IO recommends that you DON'T roll the bucket?? (also i use API test kits because i believe it is just as good as any of the hobby kits out there).
