    Doesn't water softener salt come in crystal form? How long would it take to disolve? Does it come finer?

    The salt I used was in pellet form, about an inch long. Threw the stuff in the pool, about 6 bags, jumped in the pool and stirred things up. Took about, maybe half an hour to dissolve.

    That was last year, I don't have an SWG I just wanted to see if I liked the feel of salt water.

    Pool salt will dissove a bit faster than solar salt since the crystal size is smaller. Pellets dissovle slower but they all dissove farily fast so it's really a moot point.

    Waterbear, any idea wether "Improved resin clean formula" is an additive that should be avoided? One brand has that but the salt is 99.8% evaporated salt?
