Best be sure your bench grinder has low enough RPM's to match the safety
rating of said wire wheel, particularly critical if you don't have the
proper flanges.

Do you like your eyes? Wear safety goggles & a face shield before you
switch it on.

Just saying.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

Big-ass washers, or a wooden disk cut with a hole-saw.

Buy a wire wheel that is designated for use on a grinder and it will have
the correct hub size for that use, possibly needing some bushings that
are included with a new wheel.
