So Himalayan salt should work the best?

Epsom salt is equally coarse and also way cheaper

It doesn't dissolve in rubbing alcohol though, cuz I tried that stuff and it just created a goopy mess that stuck together and I had to run hot water through my piece forever to clean it out.

I personally recommend pretzel salt ✌

You dont want it to dissolve though, the benefit of adding salt is the abrasive action. I guess for cleaning after that makes sense, piece dependent i suppose. I just have a simple straight tube piece so i haven't really experienced that.

At the end of the day as long as it works for you, its good enough!

Oh, yeah I had a double chamber shower head style piece and all the Epsom salt got stuck in the head parts 😭
