Can tablet salt or any other alternative salt be used instead of Mini curve salt in HarveyArc

Hi all

We bought HarveyArc 2 years ago and due to space issues I can only store 5 packs of Mini curve salt. Every time I order, I see their prices increasing like crazy, started off at 16£ or so and not are approx 22£. This constant increase makes me wonder if I have any other alternatives to use for the curve salt. The questions I have:

1. Can tablet salt (or any other form of salt) be used instead of curve salt?
2. Will it mess up with my HarveyArc?
3. Are there are any good UK based suppliers who deliver the alternative salt you suggest?

Thanks in advance.
Hassnain.

    I'm not sure but table and cooking salt both have additives such as anti-caking

    I assume any ‘dishwasher salt' will be okay, but the mini curve salt is in blocks specifically designed to fit in your Arc. You may find that granular salt is much fiddlier to fill the machine. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
