NYOS Salt

[Mr bigolsworth]

Is it at least a nice bucket?

I should get my bucket tomorrow so I’ll let ya know.

His results are pretty good

I didn't notice any.. should I not use it? I was able to scrape it to get it pretty powdery, though there are some clumps.

Would you use it?

Mine is also rock hard. I scrape it and it still mixes great - quick and clear. No issues IME

My bucket is very nice , but the salt is hard as a rock. Just received notice the bags are back in stock.

Is there a gasket on the lid to make it air/liquid tight?

My bucket of NYOS salt has no gasket. The salt is in a plastic bag in the bucket. Definitely nothing special about the bucket IMO

Yeah I mean it’s a bucket

I’d much rather buy it in a bag or box and then put that bag into another bucket. My BRS buckets are thicker and have a gasket so I’d use them. You can also find sealed type buckets for cheaper at local hardware stores. I’d just use the BRS bucket because I have it sitting around lol

As much as I know the bags are back in stock

IO buckets have a thick rubber gasket on the lid to properly seal the bucket.

They don’t put the salt in a bag inside the bucket IME

For a $10 premium for a bucket they should. Especially if the bag in the bucket is not doing the trick as so many posts state.

My last one was the bucket and yes it came as a nice monolithic piece.

Noper, in a bag with a snap on lid.

Just an FYI, NYOS sent me an email on 08/14 inquiring about the solidified salt issue. I answered about five questions including the batch number, storage environment, etc. Have not heard anything from them since. I did not make a formal complaint or anything, just posted my experience here on this thread. I kind of thought that they might at least thank me for providing the detailed information, but nope.

Have you heard back yet?

Have you heard back yet?

In my case, I believe they are currently sending me a replacement. I'll post back here whether it is hard or not.

I will echo what others have said though, it mixes fantastically quick, no residue and with good params

Mine also came hard as a rock. No seals around my bucket either which probably would prevented the salt from hardening . Salt still mixes super fast and clear in 5 minutes

Bags don’t come like that fwiw. SWA and BRS both sell the bags but they don’t show up unless you search for the exact item for some reason.
