Water Softener Salt

What makes softer water better water? And how does water softener salt help? Water softened by a water softener leaves your hair and skin feeling soft after your morning shower and can improve the taste of your drinking water. Water softener salt helps keep water softeners in tip top shape so they can continue to provide soft water.

The difference between soft water and hard water is brighter laundry, softer towels, sparkling dishes, and less buildup on pipes and home appliances. With softer water, you can enjoy a more welcoming home. 

Water softener salt is made of sodium chloride or potassium chloride. It is used in water softeners to help remove minerals from your water, transforming your home’s water to soft water. Hard water minerals are removed when water passes through resin beads in the water softener tank. Water softener salt is used to periodically recharge resin beads so that they can continue to remove hard water minerals.

Removing these minerals prevents build-up of scale on the inside of pipes, fixtures, and hot water heaters. Water softener salt also helps lengthen the life of some appliances like dishwashers and washing machines. As a result, water softener salt reduces and can prevent mineral spots on your dishes and glassware. The other benefit of water softener salt is that it reduces soap films and buildup in sinks, bathtubs, and washing machines.
