Wanna throw some salt in but?

[Bleach=Chlorine?]

Get the water softner salt as pure as you can find, I think 99.8% or something like that. It will be in pellet form. Lowe's & Home Depot both carry the 40# bags. I believe they are $3-5 per bag. Once you get it home go ahead and dump it in the pool and try to "mix it up" either by swimming with it or with your leaf skimmer. Also, you can direct your returns into the path to help dissipate, if possible. Like I said earlier, start with 1/2-3/4 of the total amount you are aiming to dissolve. After a day or so see how the water feels, what level it tests at, etc. You may have a salt reading in the pool from the fill water so you want to be sure you do not over-shoot your mark.
