4) Why can PPM only be read as an approximate value and not an exact number?
PPM (parts per million) readings can only be approximate because they are influenced by various factors such as temperature, impurities, and the limitations of measurement devices. Slight variations in these factors can cause fluctuations in the PPM values, making it challenging to achieve an exact number consistently.

5) Why is my mineral concentrate crystallizing in the tube,
and will it affect its function?
Mineral concentrate can crystallize in the tube due to temperature changes or evaporation, causing dissolved minerals to precipitate. This does not typically alter the overall mineral content, but it can affect the delivery and consistency by potentially blocking the tube and causing uneven flow. To maintain consistent delivery and prevent crystallization, store the concentrate at a stable temperature and keep the container well-sealed to minimize evaporation.
