Lower Levels of salt Messed up pool

So Tried this salt a few times and always found I needed 70% more then other brands... Definitely did not match with their amount to add. Brand new water in a 40k gallon pool so something way off on clorox pool salt. then I had too high of metal count after adding it. STEER CLEAR!!! Wish Sams would go back to old provider!!

Great pool salt

We started using Clorox pool salt about two months ago. We dump each bag in slowly while walking around the pool. I would never dump it in in one pile! Our pool is crystal clear using this pool salt and we will continue to use it instead of Morton’s which we used to use. I don’t know why people are complaining about this pool salt, it is the BEST.

Great product but BUY IN STORE - save $10 per bag

Great product but BUY IN STORE - instead of delivery or pickup. One third the price on the shelf as compared to here. I thought maybe it was a website mistake with a "1" in the tens position...nope, online price whether pickup or delivery is ten dollars more per forty pound bag.

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.

No issues...

22x52 inch pool with 10 bags. I just switched to a salt water system this year so I actually read the instructions which tells you your pool WILL turn green as it's part of the process. The next part is to get in the pool and make a whirlpool so the salt dissolves, otherwise just pouring the salt over the side and letting it sit in one spot will discolor the liner.. but that goes for all pool chemicals.

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.

DO NOT USE!

Do not buy this product! Oh how I wish we had checked the reviews before using. We added 4 bags. Now we have horrible stains everywhere! We’ve had our pool for 12 years. We’ve never had this problem until we used Clorox salt this time. I will be calling the distributor Monday morning.

Turned my pool yellow/green

Buyer beware, I will be buying Morton’s from here on out. The salt was fine and dissolves well , but when I put 8 bags in my pool it turned yellow/green. Read TFP and came up with the solution to put poly fill from an old pillow on the skimmers and use my Polaris pump run through another pillow to get the (likely) iron out. Within a few hours of pumping water through the polyfill, a brownish red ‘stain’ accumulated on all pillow stuffing filters (see pic). Within 10-20 hours of running the pump, the pool was clear again.

Good product

I bought this product even after reading the bad reviews. I also then went into the web and search for why pool products stains your pool. The number one reason is people are pouring it in a few locations and in clumps. That is a huge mistake. I bought 7 bags and I poured the content all over the pool and If i see any clumps I break them down and use my brush to dissolve the salt. It takes time but the end result is there are no stains at all. I would recommend this product to anyone that knows how to use it.

Clorox Salt Stained my pool liner!

I put (1) one 40 pound bag in and the next day there was a stain where the salt had been dissolving on the liner. I then checked the Walmart site and discovered many others had the same problem. I was totally unaware of this issue. I figured how can you go wrong with salt from a brand like clorox. I have called the distributor and gave a complete description of the problem. Will see where it goes. Looks like the only why to fix it is to drain the pool, replace the liner and refill. Oh yeah, not to mention all the chemicals to balance the water and hundreds of pounds of new salt. Plus hours of time. The picture does not show the stains as well as they can be seen by the human eye. I will take a gopro and submerge it for a better view.
