3) Did Morton come up with the saying, "When it Rains
it Pours"?
|
|
|
Yes. In 1911, Morton created free-flowing salt by adding magnesium
carbonate as an absorbing element. Following that, Morton decided
to run a series of ads in Good Housekeeping magazine promoting
its new product. An ad was developed featuring the little girl
carrying the round container and holding an umbrella during a rain
shower. The original copy read, "Even in rainy weather, it flows
freely." Everyone agreed on the ad's appeal, but thought the copy
was too wordy. It was reworded and a new advertising slogan was
born! Back to Top

8) Which Morton products can be added directly to a koi
pond or fresh water?
|
|
|
When salt supplementation is advised, Morton recommends using Morton® White
Crystal® Solar Salt or Morton® Canning and Pickling Salt
for fish ponds and fresh water aquariums, as these products do not
contain additives. Note that it may be advisable to make a solution
from the salt before adding it to the pond or aquarium. Please see
your fish expert or veterinarian for the proper use of salt in a
pond or aquarium. Back to Top
|
|
9) Which Morton products can
be added directly to a salt water aquarium?
|
|
|
For salt water fish, Morton recommends using commercially prepared
seawater (marine) mixtures, as they should contain the proper ratio
of trace minerals. Morton does not make a product specific for
salt water aquariums. Morton® White Crystal® Solar Salt is not a
sea salt obtained from evaporation of ocean water to dryness. It
is a higher purity salt, and therefore cannot be used to make seawater
for salt water fish without additional trace mineral supplementation.
Please consult your fish expert or veterinarian for the proper
use of salt in a pond or aquarium.

10) Which salt(s) can I use
in my dishwasher which has a built-in water softener?
|

Always consult your dishwasher manufacturer for specifications regarding
the salt used. Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt works well in most
models. Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt is a non-iodized, granulated
salt compacted into coarse flakes. This product contains a water
soluble anti-caking agent. Back
