hey guys, quick question:

i've heard from a couple of people that it's possible to "recharge" zeolite ammonia remover by submersing it in a salt-water solution. i'm just curious as to whether or not this is true, and if so, what kind of salt needs to be used?

It's been done, but i forget the ratio of salt : water. Check the instructions on a water softener pillow, i belive they're the same. It's so cheap, you might as well just know that you're getting new stuff and stock up!

Apparently it works. But i would only do it a couple of times to be cautious.
