I'm using the new Red Sea 4 head doser and have a plexiglass 4 section dosing container that I fill up. I've noticed the calcium section has some settling layer of material at the bottom of it.

Do I need to be concerned with this causing issues and not dosing calcium correctly without that material mixed up?

I know I could buy a magnetic stirrer and set it up on a timer but right now until I can do that is this a problem?
 
What product are you using?
Do you rinse the dosing container before you fill it up?

My cal product mixes crystal clear but i use brs USP calcium chloride.

I used to use calcium chloride deicer and it would leave a muck layer settled no matter how much you mix. Mostly impurities so it was ok for them to settle.

Red sea Calcium. Yes the container was completely clean upon using for the first time and was thoroughly washed out
