Have been buying this salt from Sams for years with no problems. Had a problem with the last purchase of salt that really made me wonder if I should buy it again. The pellets were pitted and dirty and made a dirty mess out of my water softener holding tank. I called Sams and they were very helpful and refunded me for a few of the bags. I had the problem with every bag that I had bought in that batch as I used them. Fast fwd. I decided to try another batch and it seems to be back to normal. Hoping for the best because Sams has best price that i can find on salt.

Morton used to make Water Softener Salt Bricks that were shaped to stack together in the package they were sold in. It was so much easier for someone like me who isn't very strong anymore to be able to add them to my water softener one at a time. The bricks were a little more expensive than the pellets, but I didn't mind because it was so much more convenient to handle them, than these bags. Even a ten pound bag is hard on my back. My water container is 48 inches high and it's very hard to lift the bags up and over the container. I wish Morton would consider bringing the bricks back. I purchased several cases of them from Walmart several years ago and wish I had bought even more.

These pellets do a good job of lowering the effect of iron/rust buildup in my home water system and toilets. I can tell by the feel of the shower water when I run out of salt, it has a big impact on the softness of the water. The bags have a great built-in handle so they are easy to carry and the 40lb size manageable if you want to carry 2-4 bags at once to save trips.

This is the only softener salt we use! We have well water that is full of iron. This with the help of a filter keep the rust under control.

in my experience I had a smell of metal in my water and now I don't have it anymore it did what it said it should do what a concept

We live on a farm, and have to use this in our softener! Works great! We have tried other brands out and it didn't work as great as this rust defense pellets!

We have a problem with iron where we live. since using this salt, we have much less of a problem with rust stains. it is an affordable solution for this problem.

I mean, it's salty. But, they are the bigger clumps, which may create a dome in the water softener so when you look in, it looks full, but it may not be. Smaller crystals are better. Next time, I'll go with the smaller crystals.

Works as it should. Seems to last longer than other salts. I have noticed the rusty smell that sometimes gets through the water softener is gone.

Have used this softener salt for years. They have changed the packaging so that the handles on 2 of the bags have ripped off, requiring me to cut the bag into a handle, and one of the bags started ripping open spilling salt on the floor!
