Which salt can I use in my Water Softener?

Only salt specifically designed for water softening should be used in your softener.

Most Water Softener manufacturers recommend Tablet salt, but you can also use Granular or Block salt in your softener if preferred.

Block Water Softeners such as Kinetico, Harvey’s, TwinTec and Minimax are designed for Block salt, but some will accept Tablet salt as well.

Granular is easier to pour and scoop, so may be beneficial for smaller softeners or any installed in difficult to access place. It can also be used for de-icing paths and driveways.

When using Granular salt we recommend that you do not fill the softener more than ¾ full to allow space for water in the brine tank.

In all cases please refer to your Water Softener manufacturer/instructions.

Which is the best Salt brand?

For Tablet salt we always recommend Regenit and Broste. They are round Tablets that are less likely to break up in the bag, unlike the squarer Tablets from brands Hydrosoft, Aquasol and others. They also come in a bag that seems to be stronger and more robust than most salt brands. The Broste brand has been on sale in the UK for over 30 years.

The Block Salt brands are nearly identical, and both are compatible with all Block Salt water softeners. Kinetico is UK’s biggest Block Salt brand and our best value.

The Broste and Hydrosoft Granular Salt are identical in quality and both suitable for Water Softeners and Dishwashers. The Hydrosoft is a smaller granule size at 0.2 – 0.6mm.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept payment by Credit/Debit card, PayPal, BACS, Cheque and Cash on Delivery.

For new customers or large orders we reserve the right to ask for payment before delivery.

Can I collect Salt from your premises?

Collections from our warehouse are currently suspended as part of our Coronavirus (COVID-19) protection measures. Check our blog post for the latest information regarding our delivery service: https://www.essexsalt.co.uk/latest-news/coronavirus-covid-19-update
