Breathe in through the pipe and breathe out without it, or you will contaminate the salt, making it damp and clump together. You could do the 20 mins in one stretch, or break it up 10 mins here and 10 mins there (less boring and easier).

You just inhale from the salt pipe do not breathe into the salt pipe. 20 mins per day is the reccomended norm.
