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

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

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

How long does the salt in the salt cup last?

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

• Humidity in the room: The drier the air, the slower the evaporation
• Temperature: Higher temperatures accelerate the process
• Room size and cup size: A large room or an L-cup requires more salt
• Location: Proximity to radiators or humidifiers affects the release

The good news: Salt consumption is very low overall. In many households, it's enough to top up the salt slightly every few months.

How do you know when salt needs to be refilled?

One glance is enough: If the salt level in the bowl has dropped significantly , it's time to refill. It's important that sufficient salt always remains in contact with the ceramic—only then does the slow diffusion to the outside work.

Tip: The formation of new salt crystals on the outside also indicates that the cup is actively working. No crust? Perhaps there's a lack of salt or moisture.

How do I refill salt correctly?

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

2. Moisten slightly, e.g. with a spray bottle or about 100ml of water

Do not use iodized salt, seasoned salt, or treated salts – these can damage the ceramic or impair its effectiveness.

What makes SALSAMED refill salt special?
