Adding salt?

[waterbear]

Plain water softener pellets, solar salt, or pool salt with a purity of at least 99.5% are fine. Just pour it in the pool and brush to dissolve it. It actually dissolves pretty fast. I have a SWG and have used all of the above. Pellets take the longest to dissolve, pool salt (smaller crystals than solar) is the fastest. Two grocery store chains in my area carry pool salt (Publix and Winn Dixie) and have the best price that I have been able to find (about $5.00/40 lb bag).

Thanks to all for their replies. I'm sorry that I don't get all of my questions out in one shot, but they just keep comming to me in my sleep! Next question, I'd like to get the salinity to about 3000 ppm. Will the water taste salty at that level? I ask only because my wife has some serious concerns about my future plans for the pool.

Thanks again!

Just barely....very very slight taste. But your skin will feel great and you'll love the "feel" of the water at that level. My wife wasn't "real crazy" about the taste at first but is totally used to it now.

Thanks again to all that replied. I think I'll be looking for some salt this upcoming weekend.

Thanks again!
