When we installed the tile, we used a membrane product. I always thought it was to help isolate cracking; the salt-growth is something I had never considered. Good point!

Any Portland Cement Based Thin-Set Mortar that comes in contact with the Gypcrete will soon cause a salt like growth that expands and cause your tile installation to fail. As the saying goes: An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure!
