    If you use "sea salt" then you have it now as 15 parts per TRILLION...? or less? If you use salt from "land mines" anything is possible and could be bad...

    Get an old dinghy. Find an old broomstick. Attach a wire coat hanger to the end of it with duck tape. Put a pantyhose on the coat hanger. Go fishing for plastic.
