OUR SALTS ABOUT US CONTACT US OPEN SEARCH FORM WATER SOFTENING SALT (THE BENEFITS) Everything You Wanted to Know About Water Softening Salt but Were Afraid to Ask! EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT WATER SOFTENING SALT BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK! Water softening salt offers so many benefits for both you and your home, it’s hard to count them all. Here’s how it works. Hard minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium and barium are removed when hard water passes through special resin beads in your water softening system. Our water softening salt products then “recharge” the resin beads so that they continue to effectively remove the unwanted minerals that make water “hard.” With hard minerals removed from the water, the resulting water is far more gentle on hair and skin. When your water is treated with water softening salt, it removes contaminants such as calcium and magnesium and allows household and beauty products to work the way they are intended. For instance, with softened water, you’ll see more suds from soap, shampoos, and laundry detergent. Everyday tasks such as showering or doing the dishes will be much more pleasant, and your hair and skin products will be even more effective. Cleaning agents will go further because you don’t have to use as much. Water softening also extends the life of appliances by helping prevent buildup and allowing equipment to work more efficiently. This can save money, and you’ll get clean, shiny dishes when you run them through the dishwasher. You’ll also reduce those unsightly hard water stains that can build up around faucets in the kitchen and bathroom. Using water softening salt in the home not only makes everyday life much easier, you’ll notice your pipes, taps, and shower heads get less clogged with hard water deposits. With a variety of different water softening salt pellets to choose from, you can easily get the one that best suits your needs. For example, salt pellets with a rust inhibitor can reduce unpleasant rust stains on clothes and appliances that come from iron in your home’s water. You can also choose between pellets, crystals, or blocks depending on your preference! Water softening salt is easy to use. Just pour the salts into your water softening system and top it up according to your system’s requirements. When the water in your home is soft, you will notice the difference!
