I will using rock salt to help control roots in my drain.

I have two choices as to where to dissolve the rock salt:

1 - A fiberglass utility sink in the corner farthest away from where
the drain exits the house.

2 - A fiberglass shower stall about 3 feet from where the drain exits
the house.

I don't care what happens to the utility sink, but I don't want to
damage, stain or in any other manner hurt the shower stall since it
gets used (by me) on a daily basis.

If I was careful about how I place the rock salt in the shower, would
dissolving it cause any damage to the base, which has a "textured"
slip resistant base?

why not dissolve it in a bucket and then pour the resulting solution
down your drain of choice?

I just read the thread today. *I was wondering why noone had mentioned
that. *One whole lot easier to do it that way as it can even be
stirred, several buckets at a time prepared, etc. * People tend to get
focused in on the 'big picture' and forget the simple stuff.

Sure, several buckets, mixed and dumped will certainly work, and is
something I have considered. Actually, what I was considering was one
of those 20 gallon plastic tubs. Obviously not filled up, but
certainly more than I can get in a bucket.

However, carfefully dumping large amounts into the shower and then
turning the shower on is certainly a lot less work.

That's the only reason I asked if the salt would damage the base.
