Why would you recommend that she use salt, especially in that manner? Goldfish don't need salt, it does nothing for them, and adding it to the filter is not how it should be added to the tank. Salinity can and does kill beneficial bacteria in high amounts and while it shouldn't be a problem if added to the water, if you add salt directly to the filter, its very likely that it will.
