The salt will produce silver chloride, not as effective but still effective. If you add a little citric acid to the CS to produce silver citrate first, that should make it inactive to the chlorine ion when you add salt.

Negative! My neti pot came with salt. Is their an additive that would reduce stinging and not react with the CS?

    My wife got and used one for the first time yesterday. Said it
    didn't sting. You did mix in the electrolyte that comes with it
    didn't you?

    I did neti pot once with CS.  Stings like hell.  Would not
    recommend it.  I think nasal spray CS is not uncomfortable though.

        In a recent alert on the internet regarding problems with
        using the Netti Pot with regular water that allow some
        pathogen to pass through the membranes of the brain by way of
        the nasal passages..........was wondering if anyone uses CS
        in the water of the Netti Pot and if so how much   would be
        appropriate. If it is so that there is a connection between
        the brain and nasal passages would CS pass through and help
        the brain.
