I know getting an RO/DI unit is a sound investment long term. Not to mention the haggle of taking jugs in to stores to get filled with RO and seawater.
But I don't want to invest in this if I have to keep going in for saltwater too, which leads to my question...
Is mixing your own saltwater (in your own RO water) as simple as buying a bucket of good salt (the kind with elements, etc.) and getting the measurements right?
I have a pile 5 gallon jugs and was thinking I'd fill with RO and then add the proper amount of salt, then test for salinity of course.
