How Long Do You Mix Water For?

I've recently picked up an AWC but am dubious at mixing for just a couple of hours, with or without a heater.

I've always mixed mine in a trug, heated for 24 hours using tropic marin pro reef? Wondering if I've been overdoing it all these years?

its also dependant on the salt brand - some will mix sufficiently in less time and some will require more (more usually with the high calcium salts)

 

There any problem with leaving the pump on override for 12-24h?

none at all, that was part of the intention of adding the override, the other was to speed up the empty

 

When mixing salt I have always just added a small pump/powerhead and a small heater and just left if for a few hours until the salt had completely disolved .... never usually takes more than an hour for appox 50litres .... obviously if doing 800litres in the Display tank i just leave it for a day or two...
