Do not buy

I'm not sure how you can screw up salt, but Clorox found a way. It turns your pool water a rusty yellow-brown immediately. I used to add one bag of Morton when my 'low salt' light came on...I tried 2 bags of this Clorox junk and couldn't get the light off. Went back to Morton and now no problem. Save your money and time and just get Morton.

Get ready for stained pool!

Terrible salt. Stains liner pool. Got reimbursement from Clorox distributor to fix stain. ( Use Ascorbic Acid - vitamin C available in bulk. 1 pound will do job in 25000 gal pool.) A year or so later, I mistakedly bought same more. Same result. This time I got no response from company. It was my fault for repurchasing. Never again.

Do not buy! Pool salt contaminated with Iron! Put salt in and fired up the salt water generator and the next day my pool was green as this salt is contaminated with iron...do yourself a favor and buy another good brand and dont gravitate toward the cheap price like i did...now its going to cost me lots of money trying to fix this!

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.

Salty salt for my pool

I have been using every brand and type Sam’s carries and all work the same for me. I have read the negative reviews and frankly if I hadn’t already used it I would be concerned. Maybe they had a bad batch? I have used this type since it appeared it my store last year. Never had one problem. Dissolves quickly and maintained salt levels. If I ever have a problem I’ll post it here but so far I keep buying and using without any problems. Thanks Sam’s!

Rusty

Bought 14 bags. Used 3-4 bags in 2 different pools and the salt seemed to all pretty much dissolve instantly. However in both pools where they were dumped, the liners are now stained a rusty color. No issues with others so far, but at least half of the 14 bags were contaminated.

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.

Worse pool salt ever

Put my first 40 lb bag in and overnight turned pool liner yellow brown iodine color. Read the other reviews. Apparently others are having the problem with this salt. Supposedly metal impurities. The company should be paying for the cleanup or new liners.

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.

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.
