Are we talking sea water, or water with salt in it?

Both will corrode your equipment, but washing in the sea is not good.

Actually, It's All About Trial and Error. If somethings works, then it would benefit all of us. If it doesn't work, then we can always do what we've always done.

Keep your head up, there could be better ways and cheaper ways to help us all or just plainly finding a way that could be most convenient.

Peace

What? I'm just wondering how this is cheaper? Do you guys only have salt water? Or...why?

Do you understand my post?

I just heard that you could wash with salt water.. yes putting your kitchen salt in boiling water. So I decided to try it for myself just to see.

And about you asking how this is cheaper. I didn't say this was a for sure way to do it and that it would work. Perhaps buy salt would be cheaper because you would only need a pinch or two. Or practically free. And Water is Free.

I simply was trying to find a way that would benefit us all.

Sorry if you don't understand.

Water isn't free. Salt isn't free. I still don't get it, but I like that you tried...

Sometimes it is fun just to experiment.
I read a thread a while back where a guy claimed that saltwater would allow the screen to be cleaned easier and extend the life of the screen.
