that salt ends up in your grey water, and sodium chloride has the same
effect as sodium chlorate. Vey dilute so it takes years to have an

Thats one of the probs with grey water, you have to be fussy about what
you let get in the water.

There are many plants that will still grow ok, but not all. If you
wanted a mint pond or reed bed I believe you could use it for those.
And many other things.

I recently purchased from Sainsburys a device called "protector" from
Finish.

It is a little plastic device that clips inside the dishwasher.
Apparently, it realises something into each wash that is designed to
protect glasses from going hazy.

It says on the box: "use detergent, rinse agent and salt or 3in1
product as usual (Salt not available in Australia or New Zealand)"

I gather from a previous thread that in Australia they are having
problems with the levels of salt in water.
