how much salt and water are required? directions are not in English.

It comes with a spoon .One spoon per refill. I’m using baking soda

What if it flashes on and off?

When it flashed on/off it's means that the water is evaporating. Add a little bit more water from the opening on the top but not too much. This will keep the light steady. Hope this works.

does this have a usb port to charge a phone?

No, it doesn't. But USB port of most of other water battery lantern don't have enough power capacity to charge smart phone, so USB port on such a device is useless.

Where do I get additional metal rods/cells to replace the old or bad ones? Do I have to buy a whole new unit instead of replacing the rods/cells?

westmarine.com sells the refill Magnesium core for the Aqua Lamp. I'm assuming this is a knock off of that lantern as it looks almost identical, so leave the "p" out of Aqupa and do a google search for the Aqua Lamp. You should find it there. It's about $10 each.

The instruction are in Chinese only, so you need to make a search to know how use it, also it comes with not spoon as advertised..disappointing,They sai it last 250 hours, is that with one salt water load or it is up to the ending of the magnesium bar?????

Emergency light resource when you have no batteries available.

Only some salt and water and the light is on. Not an amazing bright light but comparable to the power of a couple of candels.

which we can get them everywhere easily.

This is a simple but easy-to-use lamp without any electric power; not outlet necessary, not battery required.Just remember you must have salt and water to light it, which we can get them everywhere easily.
