Instant Ocean for bath salts?

Has anyone used IO in the bath? Is it safe?

I can tell you it's not safe for the kitchen sink. I use to rinse out my skimmers in a big stainless sink here at my shop. The garbage disposal rusted out in less than a year from the SW.

Add a little vinegar to the water and you could make pickles.
