Generally for simpler salts like sodium chloride, when the salts gets dissolved in water the temperature slightly decreases. But for salts which comes in the form of pellets which are more exothermic increases the temperature of water. The increase or decrease in the temperature depends upon the type of salt that is dissolved in the water.
