I need a powerhead for my 20 gallon brute trash container to mix my salt. What do you guys recommend for that size that mixes my salt fast. Thank you

Just some cheap reliable pump. The marineland maxi jets are good. Just rinse them in freshwater (tap is fine) after you are done mixing and add the salt in slowly in front of the pump (not into it)

As @Reefahholic suggests, I also use a Sicce Synchra pump. Mine is used for mixing salt, circulation while heating and for pumping into the sump during a water change.
They're great little pumps.
