Can you say Bloody Mary? That's the first thing that came to my mind after I did the first test. My salt was around 800 ppm when I tested before adding salt and I've used mainly bleach for a few years. I'm now down to around 3200 ppm (from 3400 ppm) and love it. The kids, and a few other adults say they can taste it slightly but I only get a hint after first jumping in.

Good luck and make a fun time of it spreading the crystals/pellets around.

P.S-If you have a vinyl pool, I'd recommend the pellets as there are no sharp corners.
