No salt mixes at 575ppm Ca. IO and Kent are comparable, but not the same. But either is fine, and based on price, go with IO. Have you yet come up with a reason to NOT use IO?? You keep asking about replacements, not sure what you find wrong about the salt.
Seriously, stop reading salt threads and buy want you want. Add it to your tank. If, after a long while, you come up with a reason it isn't working, look for salt threads again.

Yah I should stop reading those threads. Extremely confusing and that's why I always end up bugging people over here

You're not bugging anyone but yourself Really, just stop messing with things. IO is great and the majority of reefers use it. It's fine. So unless you have a reason to not use it, stop worrying about salt.

Yep, I agree "If it ain't broke don't keep trying to fix it". LOL!!
