I wouldn't use any solution for neti-pots other than what is available in predosed packets at a local drug store. They are cheap and medically safe to make sure you don't have rebound effects from ingesting too much sodium into the nasal passages. If you use something other than what the manufacturer recommends, it can cause dryness, bleeding, and sodium problems in your body.

What will help severe sinus congestion when steam and medications have not helped?
A Neti Pot (available at drugstores and health food stores) works very well for sinus congestion and allergies. It is a small ceramic container, shaped a bit like an Aladin's lamp, that you use for flushing out the nasal passages. You use a saline (salt and water solution), and it helps flush the congestion and any possible allergens (if you have allergies) away. Or you can use a saline spray, available at any drugstore. It's not quite as effective as the Neti Pot, but it does help, and unlike the Neti Pot, it can be taken with you and used anywhere. Both of these can be used as often as necessary, since they are not medications, and you don't have the worry of overdosing on them. The Neti Pot is about $15, and a bottle of nasal spray is about $1.
