A little salt in a pond does have some benefits. However, I believe very few of the experts on Pond Boss add it to their own ponds.

I think Sunil(?) may have added salt to one of his ponds (if you search the archives with "salt" and a member name).

OTOH, I believe many of the members that transport fish for a living, utilize salt in that application, so it apparently does have its valuable uses.

Good luck on your pond improvement project!

(Hopefully, some of the experts will drop into your thread. Also, there are LOTS of Texas pond owners that can give advice about their "local" experiences.)
