purity has gone down? - brown scum everywhere

Hi i picked up 10 bags recently and upon dumping them into the pool an odd brown scum floated up across the whole surface... not sure what's changed but i had to skim a lot to clear things up - salt came out white however but the bags were sorta giving a blue crumbly texture? Maybe i got some old stuff, i don't know, but i do know this has never happened before so now I'm vaccing the pool AGAIN and hoping this doesn't mess up anything for my opening. Either way - maybe time to look at alternatives if this is the new norm? I really liked this brand but i'm now a little more open to something else.

pool salt discolored, has contaminants in it

Picked up 12 bags of pool salt and although we have had this salt in previous years, this year it's all discolored and has black little pellets in it. Since I have added it in to our pool (which forms a brown cloud in the pool water) our salt chlorine generator keeps giving me a "Low" salt reading. This stuff is garbage.

Best price on Pool Salt

We bought this salt when putting up our new pool last summer and we diluted in a bucket of water before throwing in pool and we never had a problem with stains. our pool stayed perfect all summer. Looking to buy more to get ready to open pool in spring.

Steer clear!

Unfortunately I read the reviews of this product after I had put it in my pool after having to drain and refill it. Sure enough, had 2 brown stains on my pebble tech pool the next morning. Company was nice to pay for some vitamin C to help get rid of it, but what a pain. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this and drive a bit further to a pool supply store and buy the pure version.

Poor business practices

I put in One order for 21 bags of salt for Pool. Walmart decided it would be a great idea to break it into 20 different orders. So I would have to get 20 deliveries in order to get my full salt quantity needed. Well, it took them a week or two to get me the majority of the bags. But I still have four bags missing that just say pending and still have not made it to my house. I think it may also say that it is lost or something. But I have not Received any more salt. Plus I have not received my money back. I don’t know what kind of standard this is but this is not OK.

Not a bad idea to be prepared!!

Good to have on hand!! We live in a tricky area for weather …. Could get snow but probably WILL get ice. We have a long driveway and steps that get icy and ice melt sells out faster than bread and milk when the weather man says anything! Having a bag of pool salt is an economical and chemical-free way to be prepared for ice!

It is good pool salt, dissolves very fast. My complaints are it is full of sharp rusty metal chips. This metal is a pain to get out of the pool. Also the salt is so packed it’s a boulder. The salt doesn’t want to break up until it’s in the water. So pouring the salt around the pool is difficult. You pretty much dump it in one place then brush it everywhere until dissolved.

Dissolves Easily

Four stars instead of five because of price. It’s increased about 65% since 2020 (pre-covid). I need to add a bag every once in a while and the Clorox brand dissolves very easy and is clean. I’ve bought a few other brands that are much harder to dissolve. This isn’t much of an issue if you’re adding a bag or two but if you’re starting up a new saltwater pool with 12 bags, it would be.

Awesome performance for 1/3 less.

We just switched our pool over to saltwater. The pool supply store recommended their brand which was $12 a bag. We need 10 bag to start and will need more to replenish on a regular basis. I decided to give Clorox a try because it is $4 less per bag. It does an amazing job and my pool is sparkling.

Dissolves easy but has sand residue

I think this salt works fine, but I did notice that I’ve been getting more sand in the bottom of my pool. I really did like the way dissolves quickly, but I’m afraid I may not be able to use it anymore because of the sand. I only saw one other review that talked about the sand. I have had no problems with the staining of the liner that is probably more of a problem with the water chemistry not caused by the salt. If you don’t mind vacuuming up the sand it should be fine.
