A chalky white pellet with the letters "HH" inscribed in tiny script.
Can be applied to containers of 
slime, salty or brackish 
water, or really any liquid contaminated with 
salt, removing the drams of salt from the liquid or converting the slime to an equal amount of 
gel. Will also work if dropped into a pool of liquid, although a single pellet won't remove more than 200 drams of salt this way.
ichor merchants always have several desalination pellets for sale; they also rarely appear in generalist merchants' inventories.
As desalination pellets have no weight, they can be carried as a means of cleaning widely-available filthy water for trade or consumption as an alternative to carrying freshwater or precious metals.
The enterprising player can use a single desalination pellet to turn 1000 drams of Brackish water (which typically generates with 20% salt content) into 800 drams of Fresh water. This is best achieved by throwing the pellet into an undisturbed pool from an adjacent space, as standing in newly-desalinated water tends to contaminate it with salt from the ground.
