The product

Liquid salt brine, made from solar salt

Already dissolved, so it works the moment it lands. Sold by the gallon in bulk, or in totes and drums if you don't have a tank.

Solar salt only. Never mined rock salt.

Rock salt comes out of the ground with what was around it — clay, shale, anhydrite. None of that dissolves. It settles out of the brine and packs into valves, screens and nozzles, which is a problem you discover at 3am with a boom that has stopped spraying. Solar salt is evaporated rather than mined, so the insolubles were left behind before it ever reached us. It costs more per ton and we buy it anyway.

It is made to be pumped, not shovelled

Already dissolved means it goes straight through a pump and a nozzle at the rate you set. Nothing to spread, nothing to bounce off the pavement into the grass, and no bags to cut, lift, or dispose of.

We will tell you what is in the tank

We do not print a concentration on the website, because we are not going to publish a number we cannot tie to a tested batch. Call and we will tell you what today's batch tested at. When the testing programme is signed off, the specification goes here.

Order. Pay. Load. Go.

1

Order it

Pick bulk gallons, totes, or drums, choose pickup or delivery, and pay by card. You get an order code — a short one, meant to be read out loud at the gate.

2

Bring something to put it in

For bulk pickup, any clean tank you can haul safely. Brine is roughly 10 pounds a gallon, so check your trailer rating before you load 500 of them. Totes and drums come in their own container.

3

Load and go

The yard is staffed for loading during posted hours, and during active storm events outside them. Call before you drive out on a storm night — we'd rather pick up the phone than have you find a closed gate.

What we won't tell you on a web page

We don't publish a concentration, an effective temperature, or batch test values, because we don't yet have a signed-off testing programme to stand behind them. Printing a number we can't tie to a tested batch would be worth more to us than it is to you, which is the wrong way round.

Call (401) 555-0142 and we will tell you what today's batch tested at. When the programme is signed off, the specification goes on this page.
