hermanntrude Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 a common method is to use epsom salts. Also known as magnesium sulfate. In theory, you could use any ionic salt, but the danger there is that some might be electrolysed themselves, giving rise to (in some cases) hazardous by-products. that's what happened with your sodium chloride.
