Great product, works great, will order again

Great product. Melted ice on our walkway and driveway. Definitely recommend this product.

So lets get the first thing out of the way: the 50gal bucket is rediculous with how they designed the top. Its almost impossible to open. It LOOKS like a normal 50gal lid, but what is happening is the center of this entire thing unscrews ... the sides stay in place. Like others here, I hacked, and pulled, and dropped and even thought about using a sawzaw. Complete by accident, I jammed a screwdriver into a chunk of the lid and torqued and the darn thing started to unscrew. FINALLY, on the second one, I realized there is a white, rubber, "gasket" inside under the lip. You leverage a flat screwdriver in, pull that white cord up, the just "unzip" the cord. It breaks the seal on the lid and the whole thing just unscrews. I guess in a way it keeps it completely water tight for long term storage. But WOW was that tough to figure out. As to how the product works, well its tricky. Just got through Winter Storm Blair. I used this to presalt my sidewalks. It appears to be a blend of old style salt melt and the newer white pellets (don't real the chemical). As a pre treat down before the snow, it worked AMAZING. It keeps all the snow on the ground from freezing by holding it above the freeze point even though the ground was very cold and frozen. Even after folks were walking and packing down snow all day, I honestly could have shoveled it right up. Now, after that? I put some down on the spots with some snow still in place and it barely melted it. So I went back over with those white pellets and within 15min all the remaining snow and patches were melted and gone. So we will see tomorrow are a night's freeze. I think the old fashion ice melt crystals will keep the water from freezing, but who knows.

This product works great! Came really quickly!

National Blue Ice Melt Had Good Reviews, I Wanted Something That Was A little Safer For Pets And The Environment, The Tub Came To My Door Step In A Rough Looking Box, But The PlASTIC Tub Was In Great Shape!, I Have Ordered Salt Melt Before That Was Just In A Bag That Was In A Box That Barely Made It To My Home In One piece!!, I Have Not Tryed This Yet I Am Going To Use Up The Old Calcium Chloride Which Is A 2nd Choice., This Is More Money Than The Other Regular Non Environment Ones But I Feel Better Using This.!!!!!!!

This product will damage concrete and mortar with repeated use. I have used this product yearly for about three years. Usually applying at once or twice a winter. I noticed the mortar in between the bricks on my front doorstep have deteriorated. Also, the concrete in my driveway has become slightly pitted. I am switching to a pure calcium chloride product this year.

I bought it before and it works well.

Best ice salt I’ve ever purchased
