Rotted %26 leaky bags

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.

Warning - Read Reviews!! Stains the Liner

Devastated … worked tirelessly, alone (single mom) to deal with an inground pool that, upon opening, was filled with dirt due to flooding. Literally scooped out the debris by hand for about a week in preparation for a graduation party. Had the pool crystal clear and ready for the salt generator. Purchased this salt, without reading reviews, thinking that Chlorox is a great name so what could go wrong. Dumped in TWO bags, brushed away til dissolved and by the end of the day these awful stains appeared where the salt had gone in. Scrubbing won’t take them out… liner is ruined!

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.

No issues...

22x52 inch pool with 10 bags. I just switched to a salt water system this year so I actually read the instructions which tells you your pool WILL turn green as it's part of the process. The next part is to get in the pool and make a whirlpool so the salt dissolves, otherwise just pouring the salt over the side and letting it sit in one spot will discolor the liner.. but that goes for all pool chemicals.

Stains pool

Stained liner. Followed directions and brushed to dissolve. Have tried different methods to remove stain and sequester iron unsuccessfully. Have had in ground pool for 21 years and this is the first time to have a problem with iron stains. I do not recommend this product.

Helps maintain Crystal Clear pool

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.

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.

Also handy for fish ponds...

In any fish pond, it is usually recommended add non-iodized salt, at least 1tsp per gallon (more, sometimes much more, depending on the species of fish you keep). I'd used water-softener salt for decades, finally found this and am VERY happy with it. It dissolves VERY quickly, and provides the perfect balance and protection for my fish. MUCH cheaper than kosher salt, or the salt they sell in a pet shop (for an arm and a leg!). HIGHLY recommended!

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.

DO NOT 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.
