to be honest i doubt it would matter, the main reason that people should avoid table salt is the anti caking agents which i doubt that they put in pool salt in short i would use it if its what i had, i try to avoid buying anything in tehgeneric brands from major shopping centers as i figure they already get a large share of the pie, no need for them to get the whole pie Cheers pete |

Ya just want to make sure it doesn't have any anti-caking agents, pelletizing agents, iodine or other unknown additives. Most of the cheapest salt is just dehydrated sea water, dried out using sun and wind. I use the plain solar water softener salt since it is usually cheaper at the grocery store than the pool salt at the grocery or the hardware stores. |

This stuff cost $5 AU but I don't know if that is cheap or not as I have never bought it before. Have put it in last night and nothing dead so far, but I only have 6 small goldfish in the tank at the moment. |

How much did you put in. Lot of people run 2ppt or 2kgs per 1000ltrs of water. |

1ppt... or 1kg/1000L... is fine for mitigating nitrites...

With salting for problems you need to hit them hard ie 3 ppt 3 kg for every 1000 litres water just slowley putting it in you may as well pee in the tank for all the good it will do
