Okay folks, looks like everyone else had the same results and impressions as I did. I absolutely loved the results I got with a good dose of salt. The 2 most noticeable changes were the "feel" of the water on your skin and the way that the water had absolutely no affect on our eyes.I added about 250lbs of water softener salt to an 18X36 inground sports pool. I think I may have gone a little heavy on the salt and wasnt real crazy about the taste, but I am definitely adding "some" salt this year!
