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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 vinyl liner

I bought this salt and used it several times. I have a vinyl pool liner. After using it one time, I found brown/rust stains in the deep end of the pool. I didn’t know right away what had caused them. I spoke to several different pool people and they all said it must’ve been something I used that had iron in it. I’ve use this salt several times and this had not happened before. The pool store told me they thought it was the Clorox pool salt. Since my liner was already stained/ruined, I tested the Clorox pool salt again in area of the pool...completely stained that spot. In a different place, I used a bag o salt of different brand that I bought from the pool store. No stains! The Clorox pool salt is not a pure product and I do not recommend it for anybody that has a vinyl liner. I saved some money by using the Clorox brand of salt versus buying a more expensive brand from the pool store and now I get to replace a pool liner for $5000.

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.
