Yes Pat, Your son is most probably correct. If I am about to do my sinuses then I usually add salt to the already made CS. For me this does prevent stinging. I add about 1/4 teaspoon per cup of tepid CS. Adding the salt after the CS is made will prevent the CS being altered electrochemically
The over-ruling wisdom on this list is Do Not Add Salt to the water while making CS. There is supposed to be a risk of making undesirable compounds of silver electrochemically if one does add salt to the water while running the CS making process. Personally I make CS with well water and have not turned blue yet. But that is because distilled water is not practical to obtain where I live.
