Concrete Mixer=Salt Mixer

[silver surfer]

Anyone else tired of mixing your dry salt? This puppy does the job. 2 mins and everything is mixed to perfection. Thoughts and comments?

I can't see the attachment, just as long as your not mixing concrete with it too!

Nope just for salt.

If it works it works! How much did you spend on it? I got a little mixer from harbor freight for like $120, we used it to mix mortar for the tile at the Aston Martin dealership

I get way too much dust from rolling mine around, let alone churning in a mixer like that. Interesting though!

This dude's always coming up with something... Way to think outside of the box (or bucket), Man...

Quick question, though... I see the body itself is made of plastic, but what about the stirrers. Are they metal?

I just roll mine around.

The bucket is poly. There are metal brackets but you can replace as needed. I go through 2 buckets a month so my salt doesn't sit in the mixer too long. I have a lid so it doesn't make a mess.

I did too, but I feel this mixes all the elements more evenly. I use TM bio and I know it needs to be mixed properly before I add water

I didn't know the salt needed to be mixed. I guess I'm late to this game.

I've never mixed the salt.

If I had to do that, it would be grounds to switch brands.

Lots of elements are heavier than salt. And they will settle at the bottom up the bucket either through transport or just sitting around. Unless you use the whole bucket, I would dry mix the salt.

In fact, when I was using Red Sea pro and the numbers were testing low. I called customer support and the first thing they asked was "did you dry mix the salt"?
