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?

Warning - Read Reviews!! Stains the Liner

Devastated … worked tirelessly, alone (single mom) to deal with an inground pool that, upon opening, was filled with dirt due to flooding. Literally scooped out the debris by hand for about a week in preparation for a graduation party. Had the pool crystal clear and ready for the salt generator. Purchased this salt, without reading reviews, thinking that Chlorox is a great name so what could go wrong. Dumped in TWO bags, brushed away til dissolved and by the end of the day these awful stains appeared where the salt had gone in. Scrubbing won’t take them out… liner is ruined!

Well worth the money

Great pool salt. No need to pay twice the price for pool salt unless you have money to burn. I've been using it for over a year. No, it doesn't stain the bottom of a pool if you're smart enough to toss it in, move it around with a pool brush and run you pool filter pump. Dissolves quickly and does exactly what it's suppose to.

Stains pool

This is very impure salt. I bought it because I liked how quickly it dissolved, but now regret it. I noticed after several clumps sat on the bottom, they left brown stains behind. This happened several times before I realized it. I will not be buying it again.

Worse pool salt ever

Put my first 40 lb bag in and overnight turned pool liner yellow brown iodine color. Read the other reviews. Apparently others are having the problem with this salt. Supposedly metal impurities. The company should be paying for the cleanup or new liners.

damaged items

the plastic bag had a hole in it. It was leaking at the registry. the lady did give me some tape to put over the hole. after i got home i had salt all in the back seat. i found several other holes in the bag. i did go back to get another bag and i found that the bags were damaged in shipping. there was salt all over the floor and it was very dangerous to walk on.

Buyer beware!

Turned our clear blue pool yellow green within minutes of adding and left brown stains on the bottom that wont come off! Wish we has thought to read reviews before buying. Apparently a known problem with this product. No idea how we are going to fix this mess.

Stained my liner in one day

I have a 2 year old inground liner salt water pool. I have been using Morton and Diamond Chrystal salt with no problem. Yesterday I tried this product because Walmart had it priced about $1 less than Morton. Big mistake! I added it to the pool yesterday. This morning there is a large yellow stain on the bottom of the pool. I sure hope that Clorox steps up to fix this!

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!

Great salt for the pool

This salt dissolves so quickly into the pool. I was hesitant at first because some of the 8 bags that I dumped in were very hard - they were clumped. It didn’t matter, once I threw it into my pool, it took a few minutes and the. Just disappeared. Works well, the salt is very fine so it pours out of the bag very nicely.
