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.

Beware - This product stains bottom of pool.

I am heartbroken and wished that I had read the reviews prior to putting this in my pool. Our pool has been the centerpiece of our backyard and we have always kept it meticulous, so we were shocked when we emptied one bag of this pool salt into our pool and brushed it as we usually do only to come out the next morning and find large stains on the bottom of our pool where the pool salt was poured in. We tried brushing away these stains but they do not come off. We have used other brands of pool salt over the years, and have never, ever, encountered this problem before. Apparently, upon reading product reviews, we see that this is a common problem with this pool salt. We are very disappointed, and very upset that our beautiful pool now has large stains that we can't get out after using this pool salt.

GREAT VALUE

Great Value as the price for pool salt has risen in recent weeks. Convenient to have it delivered. The delivery is a little sketchy as the bags came in individual boxes and the delivery service dropped 12 individual boxes/bags in front of our garage.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was happy to find exactly the same product as I was recommended last year. The more so this product had also the same price as last year. Now is a pool opening season, and I am very happy to find it at this rush time.

Reliable Pool Salt at a Great Price

I’ve been using this 40 lb pool salt bag for a while now and it never disappoints. The price is very reasonable, and I love how easy it is to find both in-store and online. It dissolves quickly without leaving any residue on the pool bottom, which keeps maintenance simple. Great quality, super reliable—definitely my go-to bran

Stained vinyl liner even brushing the bottom

As a pool owner of 7 years I have never had trouble adding salt or any other chemicals to our pool. I added the salt last week and it stained the bottom of our pool. After I added the salt, I brushed the areas several times so salt would not sit on the bottom. the areas stained were throughout the pool due to this. I have now spent several hours researching how to get stains out and am now paying for products to try and resolve this.

Stained my pool!!

Wish I would've read reviews before using the Clorox salt on my pool. It left a horrible stain on the bottom of my pool where it was dumped. I never even knew this was a possibility until I googled it and realized I am not the only one that this is happened to. Will definitely not be buying anymore Clorox brand pool salt.

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.

This salt will stain your liner!

As other reviews have mentioned, if you dump this bag of salt directly into the pool, it will stain your liner. I purchased 6 bags of this salt and every bag was like a solid brick. Before adding to the deep end of the pool, I used a hammer to hit the side of the bag to help break things up a bit. The smaller pieces dissolved quickly enough but there were some larger chunks that remained around the bottom edge. The next day I noticed "rust spots" in the liner exactly where those chunks of salt were. My liner is over ten years old so I know every mark in it and these were new. I'm so glad this happened before we replaced our liner! I was a little skeptical of the other people reporting the same issue, but sadly its true. I've never had this problem with Morton pool salt and will always use that from now on. As a work-around, for the remaining bag that I had left, I broke up the bag into large chunks and then dissolved a few chunks at a time into a 5 gal bucket and added the salty water from the bucket directly into the skimmer basket. Do yourself a favor and use Morton pool salt and you'll never have to worry about staining your liner.
