Just a tip about the salt ...........
With the way things are going in the country right now , I found out yesterday that the salt was a little
tricky to get !
The Walmarts near me are slowly closing some of the "non-essential" departments in the stores . My son and I made a trip to Walmart for the pool salt, and he also needed some pellets for his BBQ (we use 60lb bags) . We found out that the outside areas and garden center (where they keep the pellets and pool salt ) was closed , blocked off , with no entry allowed into the area at all . We could see the salt and pellets right through the glass doors , but could not purchase any . Talked to the manager , and it was a no go .
Thought about what we could do and came up with a "plan B " . Went to the website .......
I ordered 18 40lb bags of Morton pool salt, and a few bags of BBQ pellets , and did the pick up at store option . Fearing it would be cancelled but we tried it anyway . Paid for it with a CC , and waited for a cancelation or .......
We got the text it was ready for pick-up in about 2 hours. Drove to Walmart with the truck , and checked in . The Walmart associate , wheeled the whole cart full ( prob about 850 lbs !) outside and helped us load it up . Tried to tip him , but he couldn't take it .
Anyway ........ if you are looking for pool salt at Walmart , you may have to think outside the box , and order it online for store pick-up .
I ordered enough for all I may need incase it becomes hard to get soon . Figure I will always need more salt for topping off once in a while or the next pool opening (since I drain off some water for winterizing) .
Get the salt while you can , just in case, is what I would say .
