It's about 77 cents per gram today. 4 or 5 of them bad boys and you'll be living the high life. Man that free latte is going to taste so good when you earned it.

Yeah and I doubt I have even a gram yet... And even then, 25% of the weight is still chlorine. It's not going to be a profitable endeavor at all.

How often are you testing salt?

I tested my water one time before I added bags of salt.
