What kind of salt do you use

You can get a filter that is specifically set up for salt and not chlorine like the standard option. I personally have the standard chlorine option, but supposedly the salt water system saves money in chemicals and does not burn the eyes like chlorine can.

Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.8% pure. In models 8110/CS8110, 8220/CS8220, 8230/CS8230, 8111/CS8111, 8221/CS8221, 8231/CS8231, CS15110, CS15220, CS15230, CS20110, CS20220, CS20230 (NOT IN MODELS 6110, 6220), It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt), but it will take longer for these to dissolve. Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored salt. The purer the salt, the better is the performance of the electrolytic cell. INTEX does not recommend a certain brand of salt, however, salt can be purchased at pool stores, hardware stores, home supply stores, and some super markets.

Pickling Salt is a finer grind. Use this one because it desolves fast and compleletly. The regular salt is a course grind and sometimes does not desolve well in your brine. You end up with salt granuals in your brine and it is not as salty as it should be.

Epsom salts are fine, but just use a small amount. Plain water is also fine.

Saline is much better. I bought the salt and made my own saline. Works really well.

Maybe use unsalted butter. Most of us like the salty taste and that is why we make them. Good luck.

I use the coarse salt in my grinder with no problems. I also use it unground sometimes, like on a slow-roasted pork shoulder wrapped in banana leaves (kaluah pig).

It is sea salt which is a coarse but a wonderful salt for cooking. You could possibly try Morton iodized salt but you would only need a salt shaker not a grinder for that.

Any kind of salt will fit in as long as it's finely ground. The holes in the salt shaker take normal size salt.

Sea salt is fine to use. Sea salt is a mix of primarily sodium chloride with other salts of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Table salt is typically sodium chloride with some iodine (for thyroid health). The role of salt in the neti pot solution is to balance the osmotic pressure between your cells and the nasal wash solution. Plain sodium chloride can do this, but many people prefer sea salt or mined salts for their mix of salts. In western medicine, "normal saline" is used to increase blood volume or rinse wounds and is composed of just sodium chloride and water.

The salt is fine. Most sea salt we see in the store is too course, but this is fine and we use it both for table salt and popcorn salt. The best sea salt we've found.

Any pool salt is fine. For example Mortons pool salt is good they come in 40lbs bags. Any home improvement store sells pool salt like Home Depot or Lowes and they are in the garden section with the pool supplys just ask a associate who works there.

Yes you can use the pink salt from the store like whole foods or natural stores. Just make sure that you get the course chunks of salt rather than the fine grains or they will fall right through the holes.

as long as the salt is dry. I know some brands of celtic sea salt has the texture of wet sand. I use Himalayan sea salt in mine. Works great. if your salt is sticky in nature I wouldn't recommend this product. I think the salt would gum it up.

They are both sea salts, I use the flakes. I use the little bamboo salt box and just get a pinch out as needed.

Yes, you need rock salt - also available as "ice cream salt." I found it at my local department store. It's easy to use, and very inexpensive. It goes in with the ice surrounding the canister, and freezes the ice cream quickly. I LOVE my machine!

Yes. I use the same rock salt we use on the driveway and sidewalk in the winter.
