The bags are very old. I've seen the same ones for a couple of seasons. Most are torn and there's salt everywhere. I found a few that looked ok, but when I loaded them in the cart and into my truck they were already loosing salt. I unloaded them at home and more salt was leaking from new tears. I would take the whole lot for half price or an equivelant price per pound. There's probable a few hundred pounds, don't bother, but don't bother. It make too much of a mess.

I recommend putting a hold on the bottom of the bag and pouring it directly on top of the water jet that’s in your pool. Otherwise it’s going to sit in one spot until dissolved. If you put the pool salt directly over the jet, it will push the salt throughout the pool. It works best at least in my opinion.

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.

Anyone who says they should’ve read the reviews before buying is wrong. Instead, they should’ve read the instructions. When you add the salt you can’t just let it sit on the bottom, you have to brush it around every hour or so until it dissolves. This salt does its job well.

I have used this salt in my pool since I first got it almost 4 yrs ago. Have had no trouble with it staining or turning liners brown and I am on well water. I walk around pouring into the pool and it is quick to dissolve. Helps maintain a crystal clear pool with less chemicals and does not burn your eyes. I buy 4 bags to start and through out the summer, as pool is in direct sunlight, I may need to add a bag or two. I just want to know when it went from just under $6 a bag to just over $15. If this is the price now, I may have to look at other options. This is the only reason I have it a 4 star rating when I am very pleased with product.

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

Worst purchase ever. I didn't know a company could mess up salt. I bought 4 bags and put 3 in the pool. Turned pump and salt system on it was running fine the 2 weeks later the low-salt light came on and I added the other bag.. still saying low-salt. I did all the trouble shooting and still nothing. I ordered a new salt-system then read someone's review and now I will be going back the Mortons,, and maybe I will be able to return the new salt-system. Thanks alot Clorox for all the trouble

The people on here complaining, saying this is the worst salt ever, simply do not know what they are doing. To start with, you don't leave it in a pile on the bottom of your pool, use a push broom to help it spread and dissolve quicker. Second, follow the instructions on your salt generator to know how many bags to use.

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I added this pool salt to my vinyl inground pool with no staining problems whatsoever. It's salt, pure and simple. The idea that there is copper or other metal impurities in the salt sounds like baloney to me. Seems to me there must be something else going on in those pools, and the addition of this salt seemingly resulting in yellow or brown stains is just coincidence. My only complaint is that the salt was clumped up in rather large chunks, as if moisture had gotten in the bag, which made adding the salt to the pool a bit of a pain.

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.
