Details: TruMelt 10% Magnesium, Premium Ice Melt, Pet and Plant Friendly, 50 lbs

Brand: Ernst Grain’s

TruMelt 10% magnesium is a premium blend of 90% oven-dried, screened sodium chloride, and 10% magnesium pellets. Being a premier choice for commercial and residential applications, TruMelt 10% melts effectively down to a low temperature of -10°F due to the inclusion of 10% magnesium. TruMelt 10% is screened to optimal crystal size for maximum traction and accurate spreading. Having the small dusty fines and large crystals above ¼ in diameter removed, TruMelt 10% is clump-free, making it easy and efficient to apply. TruMelt 10% is lightly tinted with a non-staining green dye to enhance accuracy and visibility and is safe for use on sidewalks and concrete surfaces. TruMelt 10% is also safer for pets and turf than calcium-based products due to the gentle nature of the magnesium pellets. If applied at recommended rates, it will not burn vegetation or pet’s paws. TruMelt 10% is safer for concrete than other less concentrated blends due to its low freezing point. Using 10% magnesium pellets lowers the freezing point, minimizing freeze/thaw cycles and providing greater protection against spalling and chipping.

Buyer Guide De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

 If you’re shopping for a spreader, be sure to consider your needs first.

• Size and Weight. Consider where you will store the salt spreader. The spreader’s size will depend on the number of spreaders, but keep in mind the weight too.
• Purpose and Features. What type of spreader are you looking for? What features are important?
• Materials. You want a spreader made of a material that won’t rust or corrode.
• Weight Capacity. The spreader’s weight capacity should be equal to or greater than the weight of the salt, sand, or ice it will hold.
• Warranty. When purchasing a unit, inquire about the manufacturer’s warranty.

 

How to choose De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

 When shopping for salt and de-icers, it’s important to consider a few factors:

• How much do you need? In some cases, salt spreaders and de-icers can be bulky. If you know that you’re going to be carrying your salt spreader in the car and need to use it frequently, it may be better to invest in a larger size.
• How wide is the spreader or de-icer? If you’re going to be using it on icy roads, a wide spreader or de-icer may be best.
• Do you need a storage case? If your salt spreader or de-icer is going to be used on a regular basis, you may want to consider investing in a storage case.
• Do you need a shovel attachment? If you regularly find yourself shoveling snow, you may want to consider buying a shovel attachment for your spreader or de-icer.
• Do you need a bag? Some spreaders and de-icers also include a bag for carrying salt, which can be convenient.
• Do you need a hand drier? Some spreaders and de-icers include a hand drier, which can make it easier to spread salt while still having your hands free.

How to maintain De-Icers & Salt Spreaders

 Salt spreaders and de-icers are used to help prevent snow and ice-related accidents, but it’s important to keep them in tip-top shape so that they can be effective.

• Regularly check batteries. Most salt spreaders and de-icers run on batteries or electricity. If you find that the batteries aren’t holding a charge, you should replace them as soon as possible.
• Check the pressure. Salt spreaders and de-icers use compressed air to propel salt across driveways, but it’s important to regularly check these hoses to make sure they are in good condition. If you notice that the pressure is dropping, it may be time to replace the hose.
• Clean the salt spreader. Salt spreaders and de-icers can get quite dirty, especially if you are regularly using them. It is a good idea to clean the salt spreader after each use, especially if it has been used in the winter.
• Check the blades. Salt spreaders and de-icers use metal blades to cut through the snow and ice. If the blades become dull, they may not be able to cut through the ice as effectively as they should. It is a good idea to periodically sharpen the blades.
• Check the engine. Salt spreaders and de-icers need to be hooked up to a power source. If you find that your spreader or de-icer is not adequately powering on, you should replace it.
