FAQs

Why You Need Salt

Water softeners use salt – regardless of make or model.

They do this to regenerate the resin inside your water softener system, which removes the limescale turning your hard water into soft water.

But, it’s not just any old salt products that can be used in your water softener.

All our salt products have been selected to offer our customers the finest quality. Not all salt products are the same, please be aware of cheap alternatives – cheaper is not always better.

The variety of salt you require will depend on your water softener.

However, the block salt we stock fits perfectly into either a Kinetico block salt or Harveys block salt water softener, as the dimensions, and properties, are exactly the same.

That said, for the new Harvey Minimax Innova water softener, you can only use the new curved salt (which also fits in the Harvey Arc or Cobalt models).

You will need to top up the salt occasionally; the period will depend upon a number of factors:

To avoid contamination, you should only use pure grade water softener salt.
