Can I use this for salt?

I dont see why not. Just be sure it is dry and flowable, as there is nothing to break up clumps. Wash down and oil with a light oil or penetrating spray after use. Good luck!

Yes you can. The tub is plastic and the spreader mechanism is metal so it can rust if left in for long periods. I use it to spread salt, fertilizer, lime, sand, and seed. Fertilizer and salt are the most corrosive and I rinse the inside when finished for the season and give it a light coat of WD40 and have had no issues. Make sure the salt is dry or it will clump up and not spread. You might not want to start with a full load at first and see how it does before filling it all the way up. I did make a brace to mount under the spreader to help sturdy it up and it makes it solid as some materials are pretty heavy when you fill it all the way up. Yes you can.

If you're using rock salt and it isn't fused into too large crystals, no problem. The spinner motor and plate are large enough. Beware, though, the distribution pattern is probably 30' !

I don't see why not. The spreader is plastic . the feed control plate is metal. And this motor is sealed. You might want to beef up the mounts salt is heavy and may need more support.

Never tried that but my guess is yes as long as it's fine granules and not clumped together. Also you probably should scrub it down so the blades don't rust.

The instructions that came with mine say that yes you can. I haven't tried to myself, yet :). Still lots of winter left...

Yes, but probably it would take so much regular salt you 'd be better off using the ice cream salt easily found in the store.

Yes, this will work for a salt unit. Once the membrane needs replaced I recommend upgrading to a 100GPD. Be sure to purchase a TDS meter you can check your levels regularly.

If you mean by you can make it at home that you have already sea salt like Himalayan salt, so yes you can use that but if you mean that you can use tradition salt "cooking salt" so no you can't use that because it will burn ur sinus, also consider this comes with salt packets so you can use it when it finish you can buy the Himalayan salt bag will last for long time with you,.... hope my answer is helpful for you

You probably could, but the grinder is pretty small, and I'm not sure it is strong enough to do peppercorns for very long. I bought it for a strange reason. My wife and I like Outback, and Outback has salt and pepper grinders that are pretty small. My left hand does not grip well, so I bought this to put in my wife's purse for when we went to Outback (I do use it at home also for pink Himalayan salt). However last week they closed our Outback here in Yuma AZ. I'm bummed! By the way, mine works great for the salt. It comes out VERY fine and powdery.

Yes, it certainly can. It has 3 different sizes of holes and the top rotates to accommodate each of them. I use it for Himalayan Pink Salt which is very course and it works like a champ! I have several friends that have them and we all love them!

Yes, it comes with some salt that will last you for at least a year even for frequent use. I made a mistake thinking it did not and ordered a whole pack of salt that I don't think I'll be using for at least two years.

It can probably grind other things. You can open it and refill so I'm sure you can grind something else. It does come with salt.

I've never used that salt, but the holes are smaller than toothpicks, if that helps. I use it for powered sugar, to put on cakes, etc.

Yes, you can feed salt through the spreader. However, you may encounter some that some of the salt (or other) dust blows back onto your hand and body.

Yes, this grinder should be able to handle the course pink Himalayan salt. I use mine for sea salt and Alaea Red Hawaiian Salt.

Yes, it should. I used it to make a bread and butter pickle that didn't have much salt in it.

I have not tried to do that, but since they sell a separate salt grinder my best gas is that the grinding elements are different for salt from pepper Salt is a harder material. Spices might be okay, but I have never tried that.

No, it can't be used for salt water. Desalination is a much more complicated process that can't be achieved in a device of this size or at this cost. You'd want to follow methods describe online (in an emergency situation) to get the salt content removed from the water first. Then use this product to drink with to remove the impurities.

Yes, you can use salt but not stone salt or wet sea salt. All of their pepper mills are compatible with salt.

Ordinary sea salt or even table salt is fine. If you prefer you can also mix baking soda with the salt anywhere from 1:3 to 1:1, baking soda:salt.

I wouldn't recommend it, It's meant for medium rock salt, it has little holes on the bottom to take in the air when you use it, So I think with the fine salt it would then be a salt shaker instead of what it's intended for.It comes with a small bag of rock salt. use about half of it. it lasts for a few months...
