Update-- salt system was installed yesterday afternoon. We added 600lbs of salt last night (recommend 693lbs) but didn't want to add to much. Salt that we used was Mortons granular not pellets and it took a few hours of stirring to desolve 600lbs also added about 4lbs of CYA over an hour period directly into skimmer but my pressure went up about 7 so i backed off and let desolve over night. So far everything is looking good and the transittion was fairly simply DIY.
