Sean, Evan: I thought the iodine in table salt was the real problem. It's ok and necessary in a little bit of seasoning but is seriously problematic with an SWCG.

Never heard of iodine being a problem and there really is a minisucle amount in iodized salt.
POOL CARE HISTORY ALERT:
In fact, back in the 60s and 70s some companies (Biolab comes to mind) were experimenting with Iodine for pool sanitation (it is related to chlorine and bromine after all) but they ran into some problems and abandoned the research. I do believe that a commercial product did appear on the market for a very short time, however.
