(BTW, all major manufacturers have cases of bad salt batches. Search R2R or if your prefer ancient information RC)

No I woke up this morning to io fan boys personally attacking me for simply stating io has clay in it and when I switch I had immediate posive results
Everything that follows was me defending against trolls
Randy is a troll
I'm calling him out
He trolls me constantly
Knows very little about what they say let alone actually reads anything

And everything about everything I said today stems from this troll
To each their own
But I get sick of posting personal experiences only for some idiot to get on here and start a fight about somthing that's their personal opinion without any real proof
I show proof and even then it's not enoff
Peace out this fourm has becouse nothing but a bunch of trolls
Io fan boys
Ghl fan boys
And no one can just read what someone's personal experience is without saying they are wrong
Why would you trust a manufacture with known bad bags of salt vs an icp test especially when the op said this is the second test showing similar results

I used to work at a salt supplier. The process to create the finished product is very time consuming. The initial start is like baking a cake. Base ingredients put together and placed in fiberglass large tanks. Large dry mixers screen & agitate the ingredients then gets flushed out to secondary and third tumblers that make sure everything is mixed thoroughly. At the third tumbler the measured trace ingredients are added. Quality Control samples taken and studied at this point. From there it gets drop fed into buckets or bags.I certainly would not claim there aren’t occasionally bad batches of salt mix of any brand. It’s actually surprising to me there aren’t more given the complexity of a salt mix with many different ingredients of widely varying concentration, density and particle size. Mixing dry powders to get them all into small bags and buckets in the right amounts seems hard to me. The big concentration difference also means specs on the major ion purity need to be fairly tight so that trace elements do not get high just because they are impurities in the major ions.
That said, I think bad batch claims are far, far more likely to be user issues such as bad testing, precipitation, wrong salinity, or contaminants in the source water.

I'm sure the better brands may have more precision processes yet from what I saw with competitors the process was very similar but the ingredients and source of them was where the cost would increase or in some cases decrease.
