   Anyone else have a issue of scum that builds up on the container where you mix and store your saltwater? I run my water through a ro/di system and my output on my dts meter is 3. I always get a a scum or film in the container if I let the water sit in there weather it's mixed or not.

   It is an anti clumping compound they add to the salt so it doesnt stick together. It is harmless
