Clorox salt?

[LloydinOK]

Edited - TFP Mod
I put 40lbs Clorox Pool Salt 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.TThe are so many 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.

Ascorbic acid should work. File a claim with Clorox for compensation.

A local Walmart has these 40lbs bags for $1 on clearance. Tempted to stock up for my fiberglass pool which is being installed in November. Stains mainly happening on vinyl? Should I risk it?

Have you read through this thread!?! Could stain. Up to you. If you really want to buy it, pre-dissolve it before adding to pool.

I wouldn't risk the possibility of iron staining

They have Morton’s for $1 too. I’ll get that instead

Can’t beat 35 bags for $1 each. I got 13 Morton’s for myself, 12 Clorox for my brother in law & 10 Clorox for my neighbor. I told them to pre-dissolve it

Let us know how it works out .... clearly you don’t like your brother-in-law or neighbor

$1 buck, huh? I guess the salt's freshness must have expired!

The Morton’s bags were nice and fresh. The Clorox bags were like solid bricks. I got a good workout loading them up and pushing them in the shopping carts. I warned them about the Clorox salt, but they both had used them before and pre-dissolved it. Walmart will be clearancing out all their pool chemicals etc in the coming months.

Wow.. I just might have to pick up a few bags of that stale salt for my stockpile.

It must be a local sale. Brickseek shows Clorox salt is $5.97 around me and Mortons is $6.49. Those are the normal season prices.

Keep checking them. They will eventually drop too over the next month

I’ve noticed that pool salt is really dropping in price now. Grills too
