I wouldnt say you need to filter it but i would have some water movement to help the salt dissolve. The first time you fill your tank you can put salt directly into the tank,(and that the only time) and i would have a heater cause temp. play an important role in the specific gravity.

i would just put the salt in when you can get heat and water movement.
