Course Salt is sodium chloride (e.g bog standard salt) with no iodine added sold for use in helping to soften water in dishwashers. It is, a granular salt, with grains larger than table salt, the fine particulars of a salt ground for table use might clog the softener mechanism in dishwashers, or interfere with the process so that you end up hardening the water.The soft itself doesn't soften the water. The salt doesn't even get in to where the dishes are. What it is used for is to "activate", or "reset" the mechanical device in the machine that does the water softening. The device is a basket-like contraption that contains resin in small yellow balls.
RXSOL Coarse Salt is a food grade, white crystalline sodium chloride manufactured by solar evaporation of brine. It is refined by washing with clean saturated brine to remove surface impurities, drained of excess moisture, dried, and screened to size. The product being a natural evaporite may contain occasional minute inclusions of extraneous matter from the crystal growing environment. This extraneous matter may manifest itself as black specks or a light colored material, neither of which is harmful in any way. This material contains no anticaking or free-flowing additives or conditioners.
Allergen Status
In accordance with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA), no allergen declarations are required for Coarse Salt .
Storage and Shelf Life
Salt products do not have a shelf life in the traditional sense. Salt will not spoil or support pathogenic growth. Please see the following information regarding Shelf Life, Caking Resistance, and Storage conditions:
Shelf Life: Indefinite
Caking Resistance: Caking resistance varies depending on the crystal size, additives and storage conditions. End use application should be taken into consideration when determining acceptable product life in regards to caking resistance. RXSOL Coarse Salt has an estimated caking resistance of 1-2 years.
Storage Conditions: To improve caking resistance, product should be stored in a dry, covered area at humidity below 75%.
