Here at PureSalt, we understand that purity matters when it comes to water softener salt. That’s why we only stock from salt suppliers who meet the quality standards required for water treatment.
When it comes to treating hard water, homes and business focus heavily on choosing the right water softener system for their requirements – but the type and purity of salt used in that system once installed is just as important.
Whether you are maintaining a residential water softener in your home or managing a commercial water treatment process, the purity level of your salt directly affects system performance, efficiency, and long-term costs so it is important to choose salt that doesn’t contain impurities.
Understanding Purity in Water Softener Salt
Purity refers to how much of the salt product is sodium chloride (NaCl). Water softener salt should be made from upwards of 99% pure sodium chloride as impurities can damage expensive systems and reduce their effectiveness. Impurities can include:
- Trace minerals
- Anti-caking additives
- Dirt, sand or insoluble materials which should be avoided at all costs
As emerging salt suppliers try to break into a competitive market, they are forced to cut corners to appear cheap, often importing poor quality salt from new producers with lower standards.
Why Does Purity Matter in the Water Softening Process?
Purity matters in the water softening process because using high-purity salt is essential for the system to operate efficiently and ensure consistent high-quality soft water.
Protect your water softener equipment
Low purity salt often contains dirt, sand, and insoluble materials that are not removed in the manufacturing process. Impurities settle at the bottom of the brine tank and over time, this creates blockages within your water softener, leading to repeat servicing, and costly replacement parts.
Creation of strong clean brine
High purity salt dissolves completely, producing a concentrated brine that allows full regeneration of the resin tanks. Without this, resin in the water softener can be damaged by impurities or can regenerate less efficiently, meaning hard water minerals will still be present in your water.
