pH buffer precipitation?

Ive noticed that when i add pH buffer to the water that i have purchased and set aside for water changes, it turns into flakes and every time i start to add the new water into the tank during a water change, im surprised by a snowstorm of flakes pouring in.

Im using kent marine supperbuffer dKH (powder form) and i only add about 1/4 tsp for the 5gal jugs i hold the water in until it is used. Could it be because the water is just sitting there and needs to be stirred until use by a powerhead or airstone?

And the flakes that are all in my tank now (more than usual b/c i used the last bit of water at the bottom of the jug as well which carried most of the flakes) will they eventually dissolve or do they present a problem?
