DO NOT USE!

Do not buy this product! Oh how I wish we had checked the reviews before using. We added 4 bags. Now we have horrible stains everywhere! We’ve had our pool for 12 years. We’ve never had this problem until we used Clorox salt this time. I will be calling the distributor Monday morning.

Great product but BUY IN STORE - save $10 per bag

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.

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 .

Leaves UGLY brown stains!!!! DO NOT USE!

I have operated my saltwater pool for 12 years. This year, I used Clorox salt that I purchased at Walmart. The next morning, I found that this so called highly pure salt had left UGLY brown stains everywhere it had touched. The stains do not brush out. This is by far the worst pool salt I have ever seen! Stay away, far far away.

DO NOT BUY OR 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.

Getting Staining Red Dirt

Picked up 6 bags of this salt from Sam’s last night and dumped one in the pool on the steps after dark. Got up this morning and went outside and there was orange colored residue all over my top two steps. People this stuff was not easy to get off the Gunite finish. Be cautious dumping this product In your pool.

Contaminated product

This product will stain a fiberglass pool even with sweeping to distribute. If the product is not fully dissolved, it will stain. The directions do not indicate this is the extent a consumer must go through as some "helpful" reviewers would indicate. There are expensive stain removers that will remove the stain from fiberglass.

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?

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.

Contaminated Salt

Salt in most bags was brown and made the water cloudy and brown. There was a film of brown foam on the surface of the water. The pool was pristine until I added this salt. It looks like there's a bunch of dirt in the pool. 6 hours later the bottom is still blurry.
