Thanks for the advise Tucker. How long the flushing should last? One minute, two....

Greatly appreciate your help.

The first time is just to get the medium real wet. Just water it like you usually would. I wait about 5 or 10 minutes and then flush real well until the water runs out of the pot. Maybe 30 seconds or so. If you want to be thorough, you can flush a third time. We're not aiming for perfection, just trying to get some of the accumulated salts out.
