Salt Pool= summer fun!!

I recommend putting a hold on the bottom of the bag and pouring it directly on top of the water jet that’s in your pool. Otherwise it’s going to sit in one spot until dissolved. If you put the pool salt directly over the jet, it will push the salt throughout the pool. It works best at least in my opinion.

1 Star Reviewers Didn’t Read Instructions

Anyone who says they should’ve read the reviews before buying is wrong. Instead, they should’ve read the instructions. When you add the salt you can’t just let it sit on the bottom, you have to brush it around every hour or so until it dissolves. This salt does its job well.

Getting Staining Red Dirt

Picked up 6 bags of this salt from Sam’s last night and dumped one in the pool on the steps after dark. Got up this morning and went outside and there was orange colored residue all over my top two steps. People this stuff was not easy to get off the Gunite finish. Be cautious dumping this product In your pool.

Leaves UGLY brown stains!!!! DO NOT USE!

I have operated my saltwater pool for 12 years. This year, I used Clorox salt that I purchased at Walmart. The next morning, I found that this so called highly pure salt had left UGLY brown stains everywhere it had touched. The stains do not brush out. This is by far the worst pool salt I have ever seen! Stay away, far far away.

Made from Frac water

It’s a good idea to check to see if your bag of Clorox salt came from Scotwood Industries. The salt is made from frac water from a plant in PA (Eureka Resources), also Scotwood is a 3rd party buyer. Google Clorox salt and frac water and read the articles written about it. It all Clorox salt comes from the wastewater plant but you should certainly find out if the bag you use does. The salt doesn’t even meet the requirements to be used on the road in the winter, do you really want your children swimming in it?

Also handy for fish ponds...

In any fish pond, it is usually recommended add non-iodized salt, at least 1tsp per gallon (more, sometimes much more, depending on the species of fish you keep). I'd used water-softener salt for decades, finally found this and am VERY happy with it. It dissolves VERY quickly, and provides the perfect balance and protection for my fish. MUCH cheaper than kosher salt, or the salt they sell in a pet shop (for an arm and a leg!). HIGHLY recommended!

Clorox Pool Bag Salt

I've been using this salt in my saltwater pool for 2 years. I've never had a staining issue. I always immediately brush the salt until it is dissolved. It doesn't dissolve as fast as my pool supplier's salt but it cost half the price. I never let any substance I add to my pool just set on the bottom and dissolve on its own.

Worst pool salt ever

Worst purchase ever. I didn't know a company could mess up salt. I bought 4 bags and put 3 in the pool. Turned pump and salt system on it was running fine the 2 weeks later the low-salt light came on and I added the other bag.. still saying low-salt. I did all the trouble shooting and still nothing. I ordered a new salt-system then read someone's review and now I will be going back the Mortons,, and maybe I will be able to return the new salt-system. Thanks alot Clorox for all the trouble

Best brand for your salt water pool.

Great product for our salt water pool. I have used a number of different brands and the Clorox brand is the best. When you add the salt it immediately dissolves into the pool to quickly enter the filtration system. With the other brands, I had to use the pool brush to break up clumps of salt and sweep it for minutes to get it to dissolve. I highly recommend the Clorox brand.

Contaminated product

This product will stain a fiberglass pool even with sweeping to distribute. If the product is not fully dissolved, it will stain. The directions do not indicate this is the extent a consumer must go through as some "helpful" reviewers would indicate. There are expensive stain removers that will remove the stain from fiberglass.
