I guess if you're a chemist that might be ok but I neither have the tools or the time to make my own salt

Wow, not cheap, but I wonder if it is just as expensive as using IO and having to dose everything???

Anyone using this yet? Feedback?

Using IO and having to dose everything costs about $4 a pail at most.

OK so not quite that bad! More of the hassle of doing it I suppose.

No you can use any salt with Zeovit. It is made by the same people that make Zeo but it's not a must. It is said to have the most natural levels of sea water including Potassium of any on the other salts. Also it does not try to get CA and ALK supper high like other salts.
