I thought it would be economical to buy the 200 gallon container since I use that much salt about every 3 months, but now I am having a hard time keeping my unused salt from hardening. Of course I have tried to keep it in a cool dry place with the bag closed and lid on but it isn't working in this heat and humidity. Does anyone have any tricks or suggestions?
Also, I use tap water for water changes(don't say it, I know I shouldn't), which goes thru a household dechlorinator and UV sterilizer and then sits in buckets with a power head and the salt for 3-5 days before I use it. I can never manage to get the sal. level right the first time. Does anyone have a per cup estimate measurement for salt usage? For example- 2 cups per 5 gallons to get sal. level of 1.025.
