Saltwater Mixing Paddle Question

[Rufnek100]

I am currently mixing my first batch of sw in a 44 gal brute. I have a power head small circulation pump moving the water around but there's still a little salt on the bottom.

I have a paddle that was originally designed for stirring crawfish pots and it's made of stainless steel - any issues with using this to manually stir the water a little? Its been thoroughly washed and dried but wasn't sure if putting a metal device in the saltwater would cause any bad things to happen or mess up the water. Thanks!

It will be fine to use.

If you can try and get your power head to create a whirlpool that mixes it up real well.

Sometimes the last of the salt is slow to dissolve. Give it 24 hours. If it's still not dissolved just use the water and leave the residue in the bottom of the Brute. Then clean it out well and cover it so it's ready for the next use.
