Frequently Asked Questions
What makes PDV salt different from regular salt?
PDV salt is 99.9% pure sodium chloride with no anti-caking agents or additives, making it food-grade quality. Standard rock salt contains only 95-98% sodium chloride plus additives unsuitable for food, animals, or sensitive applications.
Can I use PDV salt in my koi pond?
Yes, PDV salt is recommended for koi ponds. Use 2-3 grams per litre for general health. Always dissolve in pond water before adding and introduce gradually over several hours.
Is PDV salt safe for artificial sports pitches?
Yes, PDV salt is the ONLY salt you should use on artificial pitches. Standard rock salt contains anti-caking agents that damage synthetic fibres and void warranties.
