Is the salt supplied by pool suppliers the same salt as used in water
softeners? I presume they are both sodium chloride.
The former is significantly more expensive.
Thank you,
Seamus J. Wilson

You can use water softener salt as long as it is pure (99.5%) and
contains no additives like YPS (yellow prussiate of soda). Pool store
salt *may* contain cyanuric acid (aka stabilizer), and this is
something you can add separately.
