Default Salt in pool HELP

I just installed a Aqua Rite Electronic Chlorine Generator made by
Goldline Controls Inc. Everything went smooth, Plumbing the turbo cell &
flow meter was a lot easier than I thought.Wiring the electronic control
was a breeze even for me with a limited knowledge of electrical stuff. Now
hears were I'm having a problem, the pool supply said I need 550 Lbs. of
salt ( the electric flow in the turbo cell turns the salt into chlorine)
they only had 400Lbs he said to put the bags of salt in the pool and spread
them around they will dissolve in a couple hours. So that's what I did ,
well it's been 2 days the bags are still sitting on the bottom of the pool.
The water is pretty cold , maybe it's just to cold to dissolve the bags?
Maybe they have been on the shelf to long? I did get the last he had. If I
could get them out I could take them back for new ones. My son said he would
get in and get them , but besides the cold water he is only 10, 50Lbs. bags
would be hard to lift for him. Maybe me and my wife could get them but she
can hardly swim.I should of known everything was going to smooth any
suggestions? Thanks in advance Dave Bulinya
