I‘ve posted this before. That is about half the amount I removed from inside the cylinder, dry salt. How much sea water would produce this much salt?

Then this leads to more questions;

- If we believe the compressor is doing this
- How is the compressor pumping in SEAWATER?
- How many fills would it take to get this much seawater in?
- Why only one tank gets water when many are filled together?

- If it’s from water at the valve before filling
- Like above, how many fills would it take to get that much seawater in, even granting the full amount possible to be stored in the valve inlet?
- Similarly to compressor scenario, why only one tank from a batch of tanks with same valves and use?

- If empty tank, with open valve, submerged in seawater;
- How do we work this scenario, the tank would not only have to be empty, but also with the valve open, AND be submerged in seawater, how do you picture that happening?
- Now differently than the other scenarios, if this was true, I’d spect to see a lot of water.


In the end, I still have more questions than explanations

Seems to me someone is doing something different with that tank only.... I don't know all the variables.
Seems like clean it. Check it maybe once a month, and have a peek inside.
