Hey guys was looking around and found this.
Some one tell me if this realy works.
The Recipes:
If you want to fill your bathtub (40 gallons or 150 liters of water, your bathtub may vary), add
13 cups (3.12 liters) of salt,
4 cups (0.96 liters) of epsom salt,
1/3 cup (80 milliliters) of salt substitute,
and 5 teaspoons (25 milliliters) of baking soda.
For a 5-gallon (19 liters) batch of homemade sea water, add
1 and 2/3 cups (0.4 liters) of salt,
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) of epsom salt,
2 and 1/4 teaspoons (11 milliliters) of salt substitute,
and 2/3 teaspoons (3.3 milliliters) of baking soda.
If you'd like to make a pint (0.48 liters), add
2 teaspoons (9 milliliters) of salt,
2/3 teaspoons (3.3 milliliters) of epsom salt,
1/20 teaspoons (0.25 milliliters) of salt substitute,
and 1/62 teaspoons (0.08 milliliters) of baking soda.
Since the measurements in the pint version are ridiculously small, it would probably be easier to make larger batches of the stuff, and use a pint at a time. In general, and regardless of the measuring system or total amount required, you need
6,000 parts tap water,
125 parts salt,
38 parts epsom salt,
3 parts salt substitute,
1 part baking soda.
If you'd like, you can mix up large amounts of the dry ingredients, in the above proportions, and then scoop out 167 parts of the mixture to every six thousand parts water. For every gallon of water, you'd add a little more than 7 tablespoons of the dry mix (for every liter, add 28 milliliters of the mix). For the pint-sized mixture, add a shade more than 2 and a half teaspoons of dry ingredients.
Once a reliable resource on the ingredients of the Dead Sea can be found, 'recipes' for that will be published here, as well.
