Anyone used "Zeosand" in place of regular sand?

I saw this on an Internet site advertising Zeosand.

>>Can the chloramine control be renewed? Yes. Like any water softening resin, the ZeoSand ammonium trapping can be renewed with a saltwater rinse. Drain the filter, fill with a 10% salt solution, and let stand for at least two hours. Then, backwash to waste.<<

So, does this mean that Zeosand performs differently with a Salt Generator system than a clorine system? Salt would be run through the system at every backwash. I know it is not 10% salt, but it seems like frequent backwashes would have the same effect.

Quick question. Do you think that its okay to mix Zeosand and regular pool filter sand?

I wouldn't. You'll probably gain the disadvantages of both.
