It takes 2 hrs for salt to dissolve to 100% brine (saturated) strength.
If you want to know if the unit can suck salt water, disconnect the brine line form the salt tank in the brine draw/slow rinse cycle. You should get a fairly strong suction. If not something is wrong like a kinked/blocked drain line, injector, injector screen, loose brine line connections allow it to suck air, low main line water pressure etc. etc..
You should not fill a salt tank, it can cause bridging. Take half the salt out and set your lbs at 8 like the guy told you, and regen every other day and see how the water is.
