I have read if I scrub Sea Salt on my new mat it will cut down the new oil on my PROlite considerably. No sun here and cold outside. Can I still?

I also read about this scrub to cut down on the initial slipperiness. Manduka also suggests this scrub, however I chose not to use it. It really does become better the more you use it and I use mine pretty much everyday. But if Manduka is suggesting it, then I'd think it is safe for your mat. Maybe you could hang it over the shower to dry if it's too cold outside.

If possbile pour the sea salt into a pot with water and warm the water dont boil it. Dissolve the salt so it looks like sand then using a rag or sponge gently clean the mat in a cicular motion. With a dry towel wipe off excess water and let dry on a flat surface. Dont scrub with sea salt that is too grainy it will scratch and scuff your matt.

I did it, and just hung it over a chair inside to dry. It worked fine. We don't have any sun here, right now, either. :) My mat is still pretty slick, though, so I think I'll do it again.

Just make sure you rinse it off when used in either. Have used mine in saltwater multiple times with no problems.

It is not a fine sea salt but I always use as is! I believe the company recommends drying it out before using it in a grinder if you want it finer. The info on that process is on their website I believe.

Sea salt definitely. That's what I have in mine. Course kosher salt should also be fine.

Several website will answer your question:http://www.pureformulas.com/customers-testimonials.html#sthash.YAkAB1N4.dpbshttp://www.sinussupport.com/education/sea-salt/Hope this will help,as I understand regular table salt has ingredients that will stinging and has no more important minerals.

I'm not sure how it is in salt water. What I can tell you is that you have to have a very deep tank and that the motor is prone to failing and leaking everywhere! I would not recommend this product or this brand. The company is not helpful at all.

DO NOT season the PRO MAT. There should have been a small instruction sheet rolled up in it that tells you just to wash it. The seasoning step is only for the Original Mat to eliminate static electricity. At this point, simply wash it with warm soapy water, rinse well, and dry VERY well- no wet spots or the fondant will stick! Sometimes I even air dry it after that. If you don't get all of the residue off, you may need to wash it one more time, but it should be fine after that.

I've used mine in saltwater since the day I bought it. That was almost a year ago. I just rinse it very well when I get home. This motor works perfectly on my little skiff!

well I've never tried salt but it picks up kitty litter. It doesn't do well on floors, only carpet. On floors, the beater brush goes so fast that it kicks the dirt out the back. I bought the attachments so I can vacuum my floors. I love this vacuum. It picks up kitty hair too.

Minn Kota makes a line that is designed for SeaWater. From my understanding, the propeller parts are designed to withstand the corrosive that salt does to a typical motor which this one is NOT designed to do. I wouldn't risk it.

Yes, if you add water to disolve the salt, as you don't want to scratch your face. It's a very nice dead sea salt bath.

The motor is not built for salt water. That being said, when I use it for salt water I simply flush it out in fresh water directly afterward. I will clean it completely and rinse it very thoroughly. I have never had a problem.

I do not have a salt water pool; however, my girlfriend does have an in ground salt water pool and uses this device daily. She has had it for quite a number of years and has never had an issue with it. It is only in the pool when cleaning. When it comes out, she cleans it thoroughly and rinses it out. Then it's ready for the next clean up. Hope this answered your question. This Aquabot is awesome!!!!! Put it on and let it work.

Not to worry! It is not a salt "grinder". It is a salt "shaker". It is advised that you use Sea Salt only.

I had a salt water tank and used the sea salt from it. However, don't use too much or it will shut down the machine and it will not work on regular table salt.

Chemical guys would say yes it works fine and I know it wouldn't have any bad reactions to salt. I don't have personal experience using it on salt, but I would just use caution as the salt is very abrasive of course and you could mar your paint if there isn't enough product on the paint. Cleaning in the winter can be tricky. Ideally if it's dirty enough you want to rinse the car off first. CG will still say it's fine to use on the salt, I'm just insane like that.
