      How are you taking the water out of the tanks? I started using a shop vac and it has drastically decreased my time.

    4. dapettit

      I was a small powerhead and a good lenght of hose to pump the 40-45 gallons out of the 150 into a 55 gallon drum. That is pumped to the toilet with another length of hose and the same powerhead. I mix the salt for the 150 in a 55 gallon drum with a contraption I built using a mag 5 pump. I mix 12 gallons in a 15 gallon drum with a small powerhead. I remove the water from the 58 using the same method for the 150, and pump in the new salt with a smaller power head.
