About Salt

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.

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.
