I think I’ve found an alternative to the crappy, overpriced Salt Away mixing units. I’m sure there’s some people that think Salt Away is hogwash, but I religiously use it for cleaning my boat.
I haven’t had much luck with the mixing units, they seem to leak, crack or explode on me and when I tried to use it with my pressure washer it shook it so bad that the threads pulled out.
Anyways, I purchased what is called a “foam cannon” which intended purpose is for washing cars. I wasn’t confident it would work for salt away as I couldn’t find any details as to what the final ratio it delivered. So I gave it a shot. I took a wild guess and put 150ml of salt away in the canister and filled the rest with water. What a difference!! The boat had a fairly thick layer of salt away all over it. The one canister was the perfect amount to do my whole boat. Usually I use approximately 6oz of saltaway using the original mixer and I believe 150ml is about 5 oz so fairly close to the same.
I bought the foam cannon that connects directly to the end of the pressure washer wand but I believe you can get one for a garden hose. Here is a link to the one I bought.
