Added 10 bags of Clorox salt to my pool a couple of weeks ago and got some bad iron stains. Added ascorbic acid which lifted the stains and drained the pool (I wasn't going to fool with periodically adding sequesterant). Just filled the pool and it looks great. Looking for which brand of salt to add that won't lead to acid stains. Thanks in advance.
Need salt brand recommendation

Diamond Crystal, Aquasalt, and usually Morton’s are good. Although some folks had problems with Morton’s Pool Salt last year.

No staining and no debris, just salt that dissolves reasonably quickly even in cold water…
