Is it OK to use solidified Ca

[maroun.c]

What happens if Ca solidifies from humidity? Is it OK to dissolve and use? Will it just be less efficient or will it cause some issues?
Thanks

I was told by BRS it's fine. Just smash it up and dissolve it.. Unless they gave me inaccurate information?

Yes, it will be fine. It may be a little less potent by weight if it has accumulated more moisture, but it won't chemically change.

I have an open bag of Dowflake in the basement from more than 10 years ago, and it is hard as a rock, but it is still usable.
