Has Sand in it!!! Warning

Poured it into the pool and when it dissolved and the water settled in my pool it was full of sand. I would have to say a 1/3 of the bag is sand. Took me 2 days to clean the sand out! Horrible.. will never buy this again. You can actually see the darkness of the salt from the sand.. don't buy.

Stained my pool Liner

After 13 years of managing our salt water pool we decided to try the Clorox pool and spa salt which was a big mistake . We keep the pool meticulously balanced and after adding The Clorox salt it left a rust colored stain on the bottom of the pool. We tried again the following week by dissolving the salt first this time and then putting it in the pool only to get the same result . We will be returning to Morton's salt which is tried and true .

Horrible Result - Turned pool green and stained

I bought one bag to supplement my pool a week after opening. The chemistry (chlorine, ph, etc) in my in-ground fiberglass pool was great, but my salt chlorinator showed my salt content was a tad low. I added one bag of this salt, and overnight my pool went from being super clear where I could see the bottom, 6 ft down, to green, brown and cloudy with 1 ft visibility. The weather was in the upper 50s, with no rain, and I added no other chemicals at the same time, so the only thing different was this salt. I had previously always used Morton's with absolutely no problems, and will do so again. I wish I had read these other reviews before I purchased it.

*** 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 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.

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!

STAINED OUR POOL - DO NOT USE - DO NOT USE!

One bag of this salt stained our entire vinyl in-ground pool. I have now spent more than $100 (not including the electric bill running my filter 24/7 for a week already) trying to keep the stain from returning using ascorbic acid and Jack's Purple Magic. The salt dissolved fine - as a long term pool owner, I know how to add salt! This product is a disgrace and I'm disgusted that Clorox does not have better quality control. I've always used Morton Pool salt from Walmart and like an idiot - bought this bag cuz it was cheaper. Cheap no good - I'm paying the ultimate price.

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

Stained liner. Followed directions and brushed to dissolve. Have tried different methods to remove stain and sequester iron unsuccessfully. Have had in ground pool for 21 years and this is the first time to have a problem with iron stains. I do not recommend this product.

fast dissolving salt

went in to buy 6 bags of pool salt. went through14 bags before i got enough that didn't leak. the bottom seam has a problem. on the plus side the salt desolves very quickly. had a couple bages that i had previously bought clumped but as soon as it hit the water it broke up and started dissolving.
