I've been slowly adding a bag of salt (water conditioner pellets) whenever we go swimming. The kids like to play with it. Most of it just gets thrown around. Luckily I got the right salt. No stains.

Re: Tip to add salt
I just dump the bag of salt directly in my skimmer basket with the pump running. Each skimmer will hold a 40 lb bag of the solar salt and it only takes about 3-4 minutes for it to completley dissolve...

WOW...that's one huge skimmer!

Re: Tip to add salt
You're not kidding! I put four 40# bags in yesterday (first time). I could only put about 1/4 of a bag in my skimmer at a time. I got nervous because it appeared to be affecting the skimmer inflow. And it took about 10-15 minutes per batch to dissolve.

Re: Tip to add salt
I just dumped it in a pile in the pool today, and I stood in it piled it up and stirred it up, after about ten minutes it was disolved. I will add another bag today and see if I notice a difference, the first bag did not do anything noticeable. I have an 8000 gallon pool so I think this should get me to around 1200 or so.
