I think it could definitely come in handy if all you had to do was throw your water change water into a big barrel and eventually it made a pile of salt!

Only problem is, would that salt ever have fish waste at all on it? lol. Not sure if I'd want to eat it, even though it'd problem be pretty damn close to 100% salt, I mean heck I know most if not all of us have started a syphon and got some aquarium water in our mouth before lol.

Anyways, Maybe my next tank I'll dabble with desalinators and see if its realistic. This wont be for years though, so hopefully someone will beat me to the punch.
