Does this product work with spreading sea salt for snow?

Yes. I plow snow (in Utah) and use it for entrances and loading ramps that need to be clear. 1 scoop covers about 150 Sq. Ft. of commercial ice melt, but the calcium will build up on the gears so I soak it in water to clean it when it starts grinding. I also use it commercially for fertilizer in the summer and they are still in good shape after 2 years.

I don't see why not. I use it for spreading Fertilizer, as a gardener. This is small and dosen't hold a lot. If your salting an average driveway, it should be fine. But if you have a large area to do, you may want to look for a bigger one. Another thing, this does not have a squeeze handle, it has a slide lever for the thumb to adjust.I hope this helps

It would probably work, but keep in mind that this spreader only holds so much product. May be OK for salting small areas, but not large ones.

Yes but mine broke and the company who made replaced it Amazon would not help in getting a replacement don't buy on Amazon

It should, I have used to spread other ice melt products. You may have to declump sea salt if it is not uniformly pebble like.

No. It will probably work with the chemical pellets that are small and uniform in size, but it just jams up when trying to use rock salt.

If you mean to spread salt with, then yes you could spread salt. No problem.

Its a regular blow up tube so it should work just fine, the salt may or may not clog up the squirt gun (I've never used a squirt gun in the ocean before so I don't know it it causes any issues) the only problem with using in the ocean I could see would be the possibility of being knocked off by a wave (like with any other floatation device or being swept out if someone wasn't with the child)

Yes it does, it works well with all recipes and variations. I use this to make crisp refirgerator pickles as well as hot packed canner style. Salt is not necessary for product to work.

Once you get the snow off the roof with the avalanche, put ice melt on the ice. The temperature has to be in the 20's for salt to work, but it will cut through the ice and melt it.

the truth is that I havent tried it with salt but I dont see a reason why not. what I can say is that after several months I am very satisfied with this product.

No matter what kind of salt you use, the openings in the bottom are adjustable to allow the salt to fall through. It does the job, when there are no other options. Its a good little piece of equipment for the money. Driveway, or sidewalk. Not for a large area. Also, it takes care of areas that you cannot get machinery into. We actually have gone to a farm seed spreader for driveways, using salt. You would kill yourself if its a 500-1000 ft driveway. Steve

Don't know, no snow here but it worked on the bottom of a riding mower deck reducing grass and mud sticking, much easier to clean.

I cannot say for sure, but it does work on coarse Himalayan salt. I am still playing with it.

Yes, but it would probably not be very beneficial if the surface is always touching salt water. This product is just a very heavy exterior coat, but not actually "permanent".
1522537
yes it will, however the salt/ icemelt is hard on the parts and will decrease life of the product. make sure to clean and dry it out thoroughly after winter and oil it down to prevent rusting.

It works OK on dishes. I have 2 of these on my dish and it can keep up in a light snow in moderate temperatures. If If I was going to do it over again I would use larger pads. When it gets really cold the snow melting due to the heat form these pads re-freezes before it gets all the way off the dish.

It did not in my experience. It left a thin layer, which turned into ice. Either put salt down after you blow, or get a different blower. I decided to go for a more expensive gas model. This model was too much of a pain for me.

I would recommend using it right away. You're adding minerals to your garden soil and the snow will dissolve some of it and dissipate it further in the soil. Just understand this is powerful stuff, don't burn out the soil! Good luck!

To be honest I have not tried the Earthway spreader as a salt spreader but I see no reason why it couldn't be used as a salt spreader. Salt could be very corrosive when wet, but this item is mostly plastic where it touches the product being spread.

I have this installed for my fresh water wash down option on my 21' Seapro...It worked in a Salt Water environment all last season but I don't know about its actual use for saltwater.

I live in Florida, but in real warm humid weather, the AC is always on. I use the fine ground Celtic Sea Salt in my salt shaker, but I need to "bang" it on my hand to get it moving! I don't fill it completely full since it is not a sealed shaker. The nutrients would probably be more effective if it were sealed. I don't have a problem with the top getting clogged up.
