The Salt Mine - North Sea Salt Blend 5 lb.

Description

North Sea Salt is a blend of specific component salts, balanced in precise ratios to accurately reproduce inorganic water chemistry of the open North Sea surface waters prior to Industrialization, the widespread use of fossil fuels, and the gradual release of industrial effluent into the environment.Mixed to 34 ppt, the formulation yields carbonate hardness and pH values which predate Ocean Acidification values. TSM North Sea Salt Blend is not evaporite (residual salt after evaporating all water from a sample); it is a formulated blend of components that is produced entirely within a laboratory setting, in the United States.This product is available in 5-, 25-, and 50-lb sizes. 5 lbs. of North Sea Salt will produce 34 ppt salinity in a total volume of 16.92 gallons.100% of the component salts are sourced in the North America, and meet or exceed Food Chemical Codex purity standards.Values of major and minor ions when mixed to 34 ppt using water purified to remove all impurities are as follows:Chloride 18,794 ppmSulphate 2,631 ppmSodium 10,447 ppmMagnesium 1,249 ppmCalcium 401 ppmPotassium 387 ppmStrontium 7.8 ppmIodine 0.06 ppmIn addition to 10 primary components utilized in the formulation, North Sea Salt Blend makes use of 27 component salts which contribute specific minor and trace elements in proportions matching values observed in the open waters of the North Sea.
