Clorox pool salt

This salt sucks! In the last week I bought 12 bags to try and raise my chlorine level in my salt water pool. My pool test results still registered 0 after I tested it with proper testing kit. What the heck did I just put in my pool? And after reading the previous review I realize the dark gradula in my pool is from the Clorox company’s claim it’s salt in their bags when clearly it’s some form of sand!!! Anyone interested in filing a class action suit??? I spent over $300 in this bogus stuff!!

Pool Salt Performance

First time user of clorox pool salt. Have had our salt water pool for 10 years Never experienced such bad results with a pool salt. Very strange light brown(beige) color. Had black particles in it which did not dissolve. Will have to be vacuumed up. Turned water clody. Put fine particles of something through my filter system and into the pool. Seems to have left some beige stains on my liner which hopefully will be able to be cleaned off. Will have to backwash my DE filter and recharge with DE. Purchased 10 bags. Total waste of time, money and hopefully my liner is not permanently stained. Looking for a prompt response from you folks.

poor quality

Pool salt had a light tan color with black particles throughout. This product DID NOT increase my ppm salt level at all…after putting in 8 bags into my 20k gallon pool…..poor product….waste of time and money.

Pool liner stains

I have always used other salt for our pool. Purchased 2 bags of Clorox salt today for Pools/ Spas. Put .5 of a bag in pool and brushed it same as all other salt for the past 20 years. I now have brown liner stains where the salt was added. New liner installed last year. How do I get this off? Brush does not work. Very disappointed in the brand. I am returning remaining Clorox product tomorrow! Since this product is specifically labeled for pool use, I am missing something here.

Brown rust looking stains

If I could give this product a 0 rating I would, however; it isn’t an option. This product has caused terrible brown stains on my liner from the top to the bottom, blotchy spots all over the bottom and my entire stairs are brown (that’s covered with water). Apparently after alot of research this product has a reputation for carrying high levels of metals (in this case iron). This has been a huge headache and expense to try and fix and I’m just hoping it can be fixed and I don’t have to drain the entire pool, buy a new liner and refill it. To say I’m upset and less than pleased is an understatement. Do yourself a favor and do NOT use this product. It may be cost effective but in this case…you get what you pay for.

Great Product

I really don’t know where the negative reviews have come from. I have been using this product for over 18 months now and have had zero the issues that are described herein. Maybe it was contaminated product from whatever store they purchased it, I don’t know. What I do know is this: It is fast dissolving, no foaming, no staining, and high performing. It maintains a long lasting level of salinity for my chlorinator. The price is right and I love the fast dissolving nature of this.

Enduring salinity

We’ve bought every type of salt for our pool and our Pentair salt chlorine generator needed salt every 3 days. When we began using clorox pool salt we did notice our pool liner getting white stains. BUT the salt in our water has been lasting 5 times longer than with other salts. A pleasant surprise that is saving us a lot of weekly salt bags no longer necessary. Just had our pool tested this morning and chlorine and salt are still fine after 2 weeks.

Brown stain

First time using Clorox salt and I seen brown stains immediately on the bottom of the pool where the salt was added. Disappointing to see all I can do is keep brushing. Hopefully they scrub away…..

Chorox pool salt

Added four bags of Clorox pool salt to our pool and noticed brown spots the next day at the bottom of the pool. After reviewing reviews on the retailer’s website, we found out the product caused the issue.

Foam/slime

I have been using Morton pool salt in my hot tub. This year I decided to try this brand because of the price comparison. Wow, I will be switching back to the Morton Salt. Foam and brown slime is not normal. Nice try Clorox, stick to what you know.

Awful

This product stained the bottom of my pool, the steps, the spa and the sides of the pool. I’d never used this product before and have had a salt pool for 11 years. I’ve never had an issue using salt. I threw two bags in the pool brushed it around to dissolve it up and came back in the morning to check on the pool to find brown stains all over the place. Apparently this is what cheaper salt does. And it’s not easy to remove. Very upset I decided to buy salt from Lowes instead of the kind I normally get at the pool store. Awful.

Foam caused by Clorox SALT

I added 5 bags of Clorox salt to my pool and was instantly foamed. Literally 1 inch of foam on my 33′ x 16′ pool. Now the foam won’t go away. So intrigued! Ruined my Memorial day Party. 🙁

Got to be Kidding me bad

I wanted a fast dissolving fine grain pool salt. What I got was something else. Test it. Buy one bag. Get a white dish tub and pour in a portion of salt. Add water and watch the discoloration begin. It says its pure salt. But you can clearly see lots of salt that is not pure and there are many more ingredients in the bucket beyond salt and water. Whats worse is even days later you can pour out the water from the tub and the salt is sitting at the bottom having not changed from salt to saline solution. It’s disheartening to think that Clorox, a brand with a reputation for safety and purity would be willing to put there name on this product. This is not pure salt. It is not quick dissolving and you don’t need to be a scientist to buy a bag and a bucket and test it for yourself before you damage your property with this, STUFF.

Dissolves very fast

Not sure where those folks with the negative “brown” reviews bought their Clorox salt at but really salt is white if you ever open a bag of salt (for anything!!!!) And it is any other color don’t use it!!! Return it to store. This salt dissolves fast making it better than what I was buying at home improvement store

Works Great.

Poured 4 bags into our pool. We broke up any clumps and helped spread as everyone should know to do. And it dissolved quickly and our chlorinator was happy. Not sure why anyone would just dump it in the pool and leave it in one place. Maybe hire someone to treat your pool and you stick to swimming in it.

DO NOT BUY 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. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!

Salt

I have used several of your products and have been very pleased so I decided to try your salt. I put it in the shallow end and it turned my liner orange where the salt was dropped. Any ideas what made this happen.
