The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

Install a dry well. Don't drain into the septic tank.

It depends on how big your septic system is.. If the tank
is comfortable with the added through-put, and the leechfield
can handle the water volume, you're not likely to poison
the septic tank. But a separate drywell is still a better idea.
