Saltwater freezes to a maximum of -21c but you need 300g/litre to do this. Normal salt ice with its minimal salt content will freeze only down to -2c

A couple of good handfuls in a 3litre fruit juice container will freeze to -10c and it is the release of energy at the transition of state change from solid to liquid makes this useful. A sea water slurry with these ice packs works great.

A number of Saltwater bottles in the freezer will take the same space of salt ice, work better and are reusable.. ]]> Fri, 20 Feb 2015 13:51:09 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107538&PID=1534621&title=salt-ice-versus-standard#1534621 <![CDATA[Salt ice versus standard : the demon wrote:What time should...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107538&PID=1534133&title=salt-ice-versus-standard#1534133 Author: bazza

There will be several members attending as it is, so we don't want to risk it getting any more unruly by inviting extras.

One person the will not be coming however is my younger brother from Cairns as had flown to Brisbane in order to transfer on to the international flight to Auckland but was not allowed on board because his passport had a tad less than six months before the expiratory.

Therein lies a timely warning to anyone planning on travelling overseas to check your passport to make sure it has more than six months to run from your date of departure.

Brass monkey is the cheapest I've been able to find and I've tried a few. I've got a large fridge that I've cut the freezer off the bottom which I put on the back of my ute when we go on kingy charters and that (I've had 5 good kingies and a heap of snapper in it before with room for more so it's a good size), I can get this filled to the top with salt ice for $20 from brass monkey]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 13:45:44 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107538&PID=1533888&title=salt-ice-versus-standard#1533888 <![CDATA[Salt ice versus standard : The website for Brass Monkey salt...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107538&PID=1533813&title=salt-ice-versus-standard#1533813 Author: dalgo

The website for Brass Monkey salt flake ice states that they use potable water and the amount of salt added is 500 grams per tonne of ice and is barely discernible to taste. Details here:

I think you will find the amount of salt in salt ice is miniscule. Uncle the reason the slurry makes the fish salty is they use salt water in the slurry. Taste some new ice and you will barely taste salt]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 07:45:58 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107538&PID=1533807&title=salt-ice-versus-standard#1533807 <![CDATA[Salt ice versus standard : chilly bin with salt ice works...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107538&PID=1533782&title=salt-ice-versus-standard#1533782 Author: eynon

chilly bin with salt ice works great for keeping beer and spirits cold for a couple of days but be warned you may have to restock with alcohol. 

i usually get loose salt ice from brass monkey in onehunga, but sometimes get a 5kg from topcatch if im going out kawakawa bay area.

i'll sometimes bag and refreeze the loose ice if i dont catch anything that mission and usually refreeze the prepacked bags unless they are fouled up badly with bait, got 4 trips out of a bag of ice last winter.

i wouldnt consume salt ice. but hey the salt + alcohol might kill off enough of the bugs to keep you intact.
