I use AquaVitro on my "grow out" tank (fish only), and I have the same issues; high calcium, lots of cloudiness, and tons and tons of suspended particles in the water. Since its only being used on my grow out tank, I don't particular care about the values, but I probably won't stick with it after I'm done these buckets.
I admit, I rolled my eyes at the line about no heat while thinking to myself, "what exactly do they think we're all using their salt for? Eating?"

I stopped using it a while ago. Took me an hour to scrub my mixing container due to all the stuff left on the sides and bottom. I could never get my alk above 6 and ca was at 380 - water changes every 2 weeks. Guess it was due to the precipitation. I did try mixing with no heater a few times, no difference. Plus all the floaty bits in the water. I've switched to reef crystals for now to see how things go, and I've finally started seeing an improvement in my tanks - 1 1/2 buckets later.

I switched from Salinity to Reef Crystals 1/3 of a bucket ago. Frags that didn't grow for the whole time on salinity are all perking up and growing nicely.
Calcium and Alk were always out to lunch with Salinity. (I would tumble the bucket for 2 minutes prior to pulling any salt from it. I preheat and mix the water and then add salt in 2 or 3 doses to get it up to 1.026.) It never sat well with me to put water in with particulate floating around in it into my system.
