Buckets of salt in the hatch of my car for a week

[DerekL]

So we are leaving for Cancun this Saturday. We are heading over to Detroit Friday afternoon after work and am thinking about grabbing 3 or 4 buckets of Aquavitro Salinity salt. I found a place over there who sells the 200 gallon buckets for $42 and change compared to the almost $80 a bucket here this is a huge savings. My question is it will it be ok in the hatch of my car for 8 days while on vacation. I know we could grab it the day we come back but I know the last two years we just wanted to get home as it's a long day and also the store is kinda out of the way. So the wife will definately just say forget it.

should be fine as long as now moisture gets in

Isn't the salt in bags in the bucket? I have had 6 buckets of IO in my garage since boxing day, I should open one and find out if they are bad.

Thank you Neo. That's what I was thinking just wanted to get overs opinions as that could be a big waste of money or a huge savings.

No Adam Aquavitro Salinity sits in the buckets no bag. Unless they recently changed this. I have only bought one bucket so far and there was no bag. I know that when I was using Red Sea coral pro it was inside a bag in the bucket.

I know IO  isn't in a bag either, sits right in the bucket.

either way .. most buckets are air sealed anyway,, you can store them pretty much anywhere,, bag\no bag youll b fine

$80 for salt? That is crazy. Last place I went in windsor for salt and saw it was $80, I told him it would be cheaper if I drive from windsor to london and I passed. A few minutes later he said it was "marked wrong" and matched londons prices.

Yep Torx it is crazy they even ask I think 70 for just plane old instant ocean. They are robbers. So as proud I am to be Canadian I from now on will give my money to an American store for my salt. Actually I made a mistake 80$ was for the bucket of Aquavitro salinity that make 125 gallons. Also when I called the store back in the states to make sure they would have 3 of the buckets the girl had given me the price for the bucket that makes 125 gallons and the one that makes 225 gallons is $77 and here that bucket is $125 yes I said $125. Insane. So yes no longer am I gonna get raped.

I use too only pay $60 for the Red Sea coral pro too but when I switched he told me the best he could do on the aquavitro salinity was $80 and that was for the bucket that makes 125. I have known the guys on walker rd for almost 20 yrs so yeah I don't pay there ridiculaus marked prices but $80 for the small bucket is crazy when I can get it for 42$. If I wasn't running bio pellets I would still be using Red Sea coral pro but it's alk it way too high to use with bio pellets
