Quite disappointed with this salt mix for the following reasons:

1. Bacterial Bloom in the mixing containter. I couldn’t believe my eyes but after trying to find where the smell was coming from I have traced it to my full mixing Brute tote. It smells like biopellets/sulfur. Prebiotic salt seemed like a good idea up to this point. Now, this only happened on the 3rd mix. Question is: where did NO3 and PO4 come from to cause bacterial bloom or is it only needed in super small quantity if any?
2. Alkalinity is way off at 10.5 vs claimed range of 7.7-8.3. BOO.

I think the moment Dr. Tim puts his name on something everyone jumps on it without checking the quality of the product. And this product is NOT quality.

A couple of images with supporting evidence (the salt tested 10.2 that time within Hanna accuracy):
