Water Conditioner Question

hi!
I just recently bought a bottle of Tetra Water Conditioner from the LFS. It is a new type that supposedly helps reduce Nitrates, so I said, why not.
Just mixed up my buckets of water to do a change and I notice the tiny writing on the bottle says for "For all freshwater aquariums."
Does this mean I need to dump all the saltwater I just mixed up? Or can I still use it? It says nothing about salwater aquariums on the bottle (good or bad). What about adding a little bit of my ordinary conditioner to the mixed water?
Thanks!!!

If you can't be certain, do you really want to put it in your tank? I wouldn't recommend it.
Try searching on the company's website to see if you can find more information.

Turns out this crap isnt even water conditioner!!!!!!
Note: EasyBalance® is not a tap water conditioner and will not neutralize harmful chlorine or chloramines.

Even though it says WATER CONDITIONER on the front of the bottle.
Features:
* Carbonate Hardness Additive– The appropriate amount of carbonate hardness is added to the aquarium water compensating for KH losses, which occur as a result of nitrification.
* pH Stabilization– Stabilizes the pH value on a sufficiently high level, preventing a drop to biologically harmful levels (pH crash) and produces a certain amount of CO2 preventing excessive pH values.
* Phosphate Removing Effect– In a standard aquarium (30gal) the phosphate concentration is reduced to zero during most of the 6-month period.
* New Feature: Nitrate Reduction with Nitraban™– Serves as a nutrient for denitrifying bacteria that consume the oxygen releasing nitrogen from the aquarium. On average the nitrate concentration will drop below 40mg/l.
* Other Features Include– Production of Carbon Dioxide, the addition of trace elements and a replenishment of vitamin B
