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.
