Excellent product. It would be great if smaller bags were available. Yes, I reLize the unit price we would be marginally higher. However, my wife and I are both in our mid-70's and I have a progressive health condition that precludes my helping her with lifting, carrying, and pouring the large bags of salt.

This salt is dual purpose for us. We use it in our water softener and it works great to de-ice the driveway and steps. I have also used it free a stuck car as it greatly improves traction on ice. I keep at least 1 bag in my plow truck for just such occasions.

We do not use this in a pool. We use this instead of rock salt. It is a nice fine grade. We also do not have to worry about any animals stepping on it. Dogs and some cats will swim in a pool and this of course does not hurt them. You do not have the mess that rock salt leaves. This works ten times better. Just make sure you use the "fine grade"

My review may be a bit misleading as I do not own a water softener, but I do live in Minnesota which occasionally necessitates the use of deicer on our driveway and sidewalks. At first, I was disappointed as I had intended to order the finer salt crystals but after using it for the first time, I've "seen the light" and appreciate how this is better than the finer crystals in some situations. I'll definitely be stocking this going forward! Pouring it was a snap. Carrying the bag was no problem at all. The convenience of having the salt on hand when I need it is priceless.

I’ve used this water softener salt for years and it has always worked great for me. I’m very happy with it, and it does a good job keeping my tank clean.

While it’s a pain to move these around and left up, these salt crystals are effective at treating my hard water in my home. I’ve been using them for years and will continue doing so. I’d highly recommend to others.

Works well in our water Softener making the water good for your dry skin. It also helps with your hair and other areas of your body to make it soft and app-liable.

These water softener salt crystals come in a 40 lb. bag, and are relatively simple to add to our water softener with a handled scooper. It's our go-to brand for this appliance.

Worked all winter in North East for a snow low blizzard. Simply sprinkle liberal amounts on your sidewalks and driveways and let it work the magic!!!!

I greatly appreciate that I can pull up to Walmart pickup area and someone will load these bags of salt into my car. It's very helpful and convenient.
