WHAT SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT SALT-X!!!

David Wood of the ROD SHOP in Monroe NC:

"... I have been in the reel repair business for 8 years and SALT-X is the only product that I have found that will EFFECTIVELY remove salt from reels without harming decals, lubricants, finishes, etc. Using fresh water to rinse reels will NOT remove salt, but add SALT-X to that rinse water and the difference is unbelievable!!... As I told you, fishermen don't understand that being in a boat that is splashing through the water, combined with the wind, causes salt water to get into every crack and crevice on a reel....standing on the beach or a pier will have the same results. When the water dries, salt crystals remain and will build up. This build up can cause a reel to work improperly and even cause reel failure!!! What a horrible way to lose a fish!!! ...a simple spraying of SALT-X will reduce this build up to a minimum!! I highly recommend SALT-X ...and tell my customers that they can pay me $13.00 for a bottle of SALT-X now or they can pay me an average of $80.00 to repair their reels..."pay me now or you can pay me later", I tell them....."

This picture is of a Penn reel was taken at approximately 9:00am on February 21, 1992, at the ROD SHOP in Monroe, NC. The reel on the left was wiped down with a paper towel. SALT-X was mixed at a 1-16 dilution ratio (our normal dilution ratio is 1-64). Due to no preventative maintenance being performed , other than rinsing with fresh water, since the last time the reel was serviced (approximately 1 year). This is called CATCH UP maintenance. Had preventative maintenance been done using SALT-X, the amount of rust and salt buildup would have been SIGNIFICANTLY reduced!!!, making regular service quicker and less expensive!!! The reel on the right is the same one as reel on the left but it was taken approximately 10 minutes later.

Roger Blair of Merritt Island FL:

"...I have been using SALT-X for about 5 years and flush my engine after each use. I recently sold my 1985 Johnson 235....when the new owner had the engine inspected by a local mechanic, the mechanic was very surprised by the lack of salt deposits in the engine block...I keep a 5 gallon bucket with 1 gallon of SALT-X mixture on board my boat to soak all my lures and leaders in after their use in saltwater. I also rinse my hands to remove the slick saltwater film and eliminate the transfer of salt to delicate electronics and other hardware while fishing offshore....."

Don Hubbard of Charlotte NC:

"...I see you do it and I still can't believe it. 4 1/2 years of salt and trapped dirt accumulation gone instantly with one rinsing with SALT-X. This, after hand scrubbing and washing with a pressure spray car wash. Soap and water didn't remove the salt , but SALT-X did!!!...SALT-X is also great for winterizing my motor, boat, and trailer along with all my other fishing gear"

Ed Lahey of Boston MA:

"...Incredible!!! SALT-X not only removes salt instantly, but it only takes me a third of the time to hose off my 36 foot Sea Ray!!!!...."

Maintenance Officer, USMC, Camp Lejeune, NC:

"...While attached to the 26th MEU, the maintenance chief ordered SALT-X in order to control corrosion while embarked. Our equipment was loaded onto Landing Craft Cushioned (LCAC) and the subsequent rides were known to cause significant damage to equipment. After rinsing with SALT-X, the difference was readily apparent. The salt film that had previously appeared was no longer visible, and rust was much slower to accumulate. The corrosion difficulties became defeatable and in fact defeated...SALT-X did indeed do everything that it was designed to do and we need it to become part of our inventory...You will literally save us millions!!!..."

Joel Peterson, Civilian, US Coast Guard Station, Woods Hole, MA:

"...I received an award plus a cash bonus for saving a $19,995.00 piece of equipment that was ready to be written off and replaced after Hurricane Bob ravaged our facility. During slack time, I dismantled the equipment and cleaned it with SALT-X. 40 hours and approximately $25.00 worth of SALT-X later, the equipment was back up and running. Only minor lens adjustments (which I was not qualified to do) were needed...

Ron Windham, Engineering Design & Testing Corp., Columbia, SC:

"...In accordance with accepted laboratory procedures, testing on monofilament fishing line with SALT-X used at various strengths showed that even straight SALT-X has no adverse effect on monofilament line...in fact...fresh water has a more damaging effect on monofilament line than SALT-X..."

Glenn and Janice Sutow, Kona, Hawaii:

"...Living in HI with its tropical climate and what appears to be saltier saltwater, its corrosive actions are far more significant. Using your SALT-X over the past year has stopped or reduced the corrosive effects, that was once assumed a part of living near the ocean. SALT-X has been fantastic on my Boston Whaler...the running lights in their aluminum casting were encrusted with a white scale which is now gone. The teak has been bleeding salt out of the grain and has a near new finish again. My fishing rod guides and Penn International reels look like new without the fear of removing oil and grease from vital parts. The terminal tackle has remained corrosion free, which is most noticeable on the cadmium plated big game hooks..."

II MEF Officer At Marine EXPO '95, USMC, Camp Lejeune, NC:

"...2 of the last 3 MEU's that went out did not take SALT-X with them. Between the two of them, they had to trash over $1,500,000.00 in equipment when they returned. The last MEU that went out, took SALT-X with them and they lost less than $40,000.00 in equipment, using $1,500.00 worth of SALT-X..."

Captain Lloyd Eastlack, Bug-Em Bait Co., Wilmington, NC:

"...John, when we first brought SALT-X into the store, we had to do some talking to get our customers to try it. NOW, however, when we have a new customer in the store and they are looking at the SALT-X display, and a user of SALT-X is in the store, they will walk over and tell the person, "If you're not using SALT-X, you need to get some", and then proceed to tell that person about what SALT-X has done for them! Our customers are now selling SALT-X for us! We have one customer in particular who owns a 45 foot Hatteras and swears by SALT-X. Before going on a 4-5 day trip, he rinses his Hatteras with SALT-X. He says that this makes his SALT-X rinse down easier when he returns from a long trip..."

Clint Kronenberger Sr - Bowling Green,Ky

"...Hi,

Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that your kindness is greatly appreciated! I called yesterday and spoke with one of your employees and he was kind & understanding of my request to check on my order! Not only did he check on the order but he called me back immediately to let me know that it would be shipped and I would have it before my  trip to Nova Scotia Canada! We are currently having a big ice storm here and they are now SALTING all the roads. I am sure that your product will help to protect my vehicles once I am able to apply it! Again many thanks and please let the employee who helped me know that his efforts did not go unappreciated!

Happy Holidays..."

Steve Miller - Danbury, CT

"...Thank you, I believe you have saved me quite a bit of money.

Briefly;  my 11 year old Merc 3.3 HP used as dinghy outboard on an inflatable gets used only 10-12 days a year, then flushed in fresh water and put away.   Still, in spite of light use and what I thought was decent maintenance it ran hotter and hotter every year until this year I was afraid to run it for more than a few minutes;  water stream from visual sight was hot, scalding hot and motor cover by spark plug really HOT.    So we rowed and begged tows from people around Rhode Island and Block Island this vacation.    After the long row back from the beach you're ready to... go to the beach and cool off.

One mechanic suggested acid flush, but frankly I was afraid to do it with everything  I've read about Muriatic acid, problems of disposal, etc.  In searching around the Web for alternatives I came across Practical Sailor's reference to Salt-X.    I'm a thorough skeptic and my attitude about the Web is nearly everything on it is scam but for $13.00 I thought what the hell, I'll try it. 

Last week August 11, 2008 or thereabouts  UPS delivered my quart, and that afternoon I mixed per directions in a garbage pail, ran the motor for a few minutes and ....no heat problem - gone,  running as cools as the day I bought it.    To make certainty more sure I ran it in the same solution next day  for about 30 minutes.   No heat problem, water stream from visual sight was cool to the touch for 10-15 minutes until water in garbage pail warmed up from exhaust and water became tepid.

This is either the world's greatest coincidence or your product actually does what you say it will;  I'm guessing it's the latter so thanks again.
