Polyp Lab Reef Primer and Salinity

[Urban]

Has anyone else who uses Reef Primer from Polyp Lab found that it increases the salinity of the water? I try to keep my parameters as stable as possible between my main tank and what I am dipping in, but having left a solution sit overnight I tested the salinity in an effort to make sure it was the same. The salinity in my tank is 1.025, but when I tested the salinity in my dip it was 1.035. I checked to make sure my refractometer was calibrated and it’s OK, so to test the theory I added a capful to two cups of water and the salinity was 1.005. Is this a problem? @Battlecorals @ReefSquad

The product will raise the salinity of the dip, singe it contains potassium salts.
