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.

Unbelievably expensive.

The fact that this 40 pounds of swimming pool salt cost $5.94 last July and over $20 today - QUADRUPLE IN COST - is absolutely outrageous. But we have to have it, as we have a salt filter. I am researching for a new source. Just so you will know, Walmart is actually still the cheapest. Unbelievable.

Thanks for posting your review! We would recommend looking at the Walmart Online Grocery Pickup as an option. This will still have the same low price as seen last year.

Salty salt for my pool

I have been using every brand and type Sam’s carries and all work the same for me. I have read the negative reviews and frankly if I hadn’t already used it I would be concerned. Maybe they had a bad batch? I have used this type since it appeared it my store last year. Never had one problem. Dissolves quickly and maintained salt levels. If I ever have a problem I’ll post it here but so far I keep buying and using without any problems. Thanks Sam’s!

Get ready for stained pool!

Terrible salt. Stains liner pool. Got reimbursement from Clorox distributor to fix stain. ( Use Ascorbic Acid - vitamin C available in bulk. 1 pound will do job in 25000 gal pool.) A year or so later, I mistakedly bought same more. Same result. This time I got no response from company. It was my fault for repurchasing. Never again.

*** READ HOW TO PROPERLY ADD SALT ***

I have used this salt for 3 seasons without any problems! I have an above ground pool; 12' x 24' x 52" with a liner. YOU MUST ADD SALT TO YOUR POOL "1st" - BEFORE ADDING ANY OTHER CHEMICALS!! ** This will ensure that you WILL NOT have any chemical reactions with other chemicals .. ie., metals

Do not buy! Pool salt contaminated with Iron! Put salt in and fired up the salt water generator and the next day my pool was green as this salt is contaminated with iron...do yourself a favor and buy another good brand and dont gravitate toward the cheap price like i did...now its going to cost me lots of money trying to fix this!

DO NOT BUY OR USE CLOROX POOL SALT!!!!!

DO NOT USE CLOROX POOL SALT!!! I put 40lbs into my pool and it IMMEDIATELY left stained places all over my gunite pool. I swept it into the bottom drains immediately and the jets distributed it all over the pool. I now have rust particle stains everywhere. There are so many stains that all I can think of is draining the pool to try and remove them. Who can suggest the best way to get the stains off.

Do not buy

I'm not sure how you can screw up salt, but Clorox found a way. It turns your pool water a rusty yellow-brown immediately. I used to add one bag of Morton when my 'low salt' light came on...I tried 2 bags of this Clorox junk and couldn't get the light off. Went back to Morton and now no problem. Save your money and time and just get Morton.

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.
