    Default Salt for non salt generator pool

    I bought mort*n salt system saver II [yellow bag] for making the water nice. Is this pure enough because they promote it as having some resins in it? Is it OK to use?

    Do not use the salts with additives. Only the pure (99.9* or so) salts, such as solar salt. The system saver has additives to keep your water softener clean. Look for the blue bags or ones that say "solar salt" usually under $4 a bag for 40#

    Home Depot and Lowes both normally have solar salt.

    You may try tequila, some plain brandy, a shot of triple sec, fresh ground ginger, sweet and sour mix.

    Add a lime around the rim, and it's a perfectly swimable margarita!

    Does it make a difference using pellets vs. crystals?

    Is this type of salt ok to use: http://www.cargillsalt.com/food/dc_s....htm#TopOfPage
