They both seem to be recommended just curious if other than price there is any difference?
Diamond Crystal Solar Naturals Water Softener Salt Crystals 100012454 - The Home Depot (7.69 in bulk vs 7.99)

Avoiding mortons and chlorox due to rust stain issues and well.. they cost the same.
 
I've used both. There used to be a more significant price difference between the two so I use the cheaper water softener salt. I used the pool salt last because the price difference is nominal. I've heard no horror stories about either.

The pool salt has smaller crystals. Both dissolve quickly.
 
I usually use Solar Naturals salt with no issues. Recently I bought a couple bags of the Splash Ready version which were very dirty and left a nasty “bathtub” ring on the steps.
