Refill salt for the SALSAMED salt cup – when, how and why?

Natural indoor air with a system – why the salt cellar needs refill salt

The SALSAMED salt cellar creates a healthy indoor climate in a completely natural way – without electricity, technology, or artificial additives. Its operating principle is based on the evaporation of salt: tiny amounts of salt particles diffuse through the permeable ceramic, enriching the air with saline moisture. This process is continuously active and requires only one thing: regular refilling with salt .

How long will the salt last in the salt cellar?

The 5 kg of pure salt included with the size L salt cellar is generous and will last for several months up to a year, depending on usage. The same applies to the 3 kg included with size M and 2 kg with size S. Exact consumption depends on external factors.

• Humidity in the room: Affects the rate of evaporation.
• Temperature: Higher temperatures favor the physical process.
• Room size and chalice size: A generous room or an L-shaped chalice leads to a more intense release.
• Location: Proximity to heat sources influences diffusion to the outside.

The good news: Salt consumption is generally very moderate. In many households, it is sufficient to top up the salt every few months to maintain the beneficial microclimate.

How can you tell when the salt needs to be refilled?

One glance is all it takes: If the salt level in the bowl has dropped significantly , it's time to refill. It's important that there is always sufficient contact between the salt and the ceramic wall – only then does the slow diffusion process work for optimal air purification.

Tip: The formation of fine salt crystals on the outside also indicates that the chalice is actively working. If no crust forms, it may be lacking salt or the necessary moisture for activation.

How do you properly refill the salt?

1. Fill with fresh, natural salt – preferably original SALSAMED refill salt .

2. Lightly moisten, e.g. with a spray bottle or approx. 100 ml of water, to restart the process.

Do not use iodized salt, spiced or treated salts – these can clog the pores of the ceramic or impair its natural effect.
