Here’s the whole truth, served on a silver platter: buy evaporated pellet salt from a reputable brand, keep the tank clean, and don’t overthink it. Your water will be soft, your skin will be smooth, and your coffee will taste like actual coffee instead of a mineral bath. Plus, you’ll never have to scrape a salt bridge again—and that, my friends, is a victory worth celebrating.
Now go forth and salt wisely. And maybe skip the Himalayan pink—it’s for lamps, not pipes.
