Turned my pool yellow/green

Buyer beware, I will be buying Morton’s from here on out. The salt was fine and dissolves well , but when I put 8 bags in my pool it turned yellow/green. Read TFP and came up with the solution to put poly fill from an old pillow on the skimmers and use my Polaris pump run through another pillow to get the (likely) iron out. Within a few hours of pumping water through the polyfill, a brownish red ‘stain’ accumulated on all pillow stuffing filters (see pic). Within 10-20 hours of running the pump, the pool was clear again.

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?

Great pool salt

We started using Clorox pool salt about two months ago. We dump each bag in slowly while walking around the pool. I would never dump it in in one pile! Our pool is crystal clear using this pool salt and we will continue to use it instead of Morton’s which we used to use. I don’t know why people are complaining about this pool salt, it is the BEST.

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.

STAY AWAY from this brand!

I've been a pool owner for 20 years and have NEVER had pool salt stain my liner! We added the Clorox brand (first time using this brand) salt in the shallow end as usual. Walked away for a couple of hours and came back to brush the left over salt to help dissolve and found a huge ugly brown stain on the liner right where the salt was added! We are highly upset and DO NOT recommend using this brand of pool salt!

fast dissolving salt

went in to buy 6 bags of pool salt. went through14 bags before i got enough that didn't leak. the bottom seam has a problem. on the plus side the salt desolves very quickly. had a couple bages that i had previously bought clumped but as soon as it hit the water it broke up and started dissolving.

Worst pool salt ever

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

Salt Pool= summer fun!!

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.

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.

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.
