Salt Uses & Tips | SaltWorks®

 

That was a great list!

 

Ya know that little napkin that the barmaid sets your beer or Rum and Coke on? Sprinkle it with salt and it will never stick to the bottom of the bottle or glass

 

but the salt will then fall down into my shirt!

 

Hasn't happened to me

 

I make chlorine from it .
Keeps the pools clean

 

How do you make the chlorine ?

 

Pass High Voltage between Plates
2NaCl + 2H
2O → electrolysis → 2NaOH + H
2 + Cl
2
2NaOH + 2HCl → chemical reaction → 2NaCl + 2H
2O
Net reaction : 2HCl → → → H
2 + Cl
2 (as gases bubbling off) .


Salt water chlorination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

I have two 2600 lbs. pallets of table salt sitting in the warehouse, if anyone needs some salt.

 

And I thought hitting the two for one sales at Foodland I was doing good

 

Is also good to have for barder post SHTF

 

I'm sure that someone would offer to clean it up for you.

This is how they get the chlorine & then you buy bleach !!
Sloth

 

I have never understood why they call these salt water pools, you still make chlorine

 

Yes , If you cover the pools & keep the same hours on the chlorine generation then you get the worst chlorine/bleach hit up the nose.
It will vent off if left uncovered. Your salt will not evaporate out , but the water leaves all the time if left uncovered & more in a breeze. Adding water will dilute only if you over fill or have a leak. I add 30# of raw salt per year on a huge 6' deep pool .
I cover it all winter , or if I start from scratch I add 300 # of salt & that's less than 1/4 of the Pacific Ocean concentration of PPM


"Salt water chlorination is a process that uses dissolved salt (2,500–6,000 ppm) as a store for the chlorination system.[1] The chlorine generator (also known as salt cell, salt generator, salt chlorinator or SWG) uses electrolysis in the presence of dissolved salt (NaCl) to produce hypochlorous acid (HClO) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), which are the sanitizing agents already commonly used in swimming pools. As such, a saltwater pool is not actually chlorine-free; it simply utilizes a chlorine generator instead of direct addition of chlorine."

 

I enjoyed this post. I have several 5 gallon buckets of salt.
