I dissolve it in a bucket of pond water, stir it well and pour back in
the pond at the skimmer.

It comes in colors ranging from white to reddish brown, per my
understanding. The only stuff I could find in my neck of the woods (north
of San Diego) was called Sul Po Mag 0-0-20, and the small pellets are
reddish brown. The magnesium and sulfur make 31% of the mixture and are
supposed to aid in greening things up. So far no problems.

One question for regular users: Do you try to crush it up to dissolve
faster, or just toss it in as pellets/rocks?

And besides that..... the Muriate of Potash I bought at Agway (5 lb. box) is
not "white rocks", but more like a reddish brown. Are you sure we're
talking about the same stuff?

Why do water softener companies have it....and why would you need that
much. I
bought less than 5 pounds last year for less than $5 and I have over
15,000
gallons....I still had some left this year Jerri
