Tablet Salt

Tablet salt is made from compacted PDV (pure dried vacuum) or sea salt, depending upon the brand. Salt tablets are compacted using high pressure and a small amount of caking agents that stop the tablets from falling apart in your water softener.

Poorly compacted tablets can cause issues in your water softener, with the fine salt causing blockages or salt bridging within the brine tank. Impurities such as sand or additives in low grade tablet salt can also cause damage to your water treatment system, meaning costly repairs and replacements.

Crystal salt is not a compacted salt like tablet salt, and is made from individual grown sea salt crystals. Soft-Sel crystal offers an alternative to traditional tablet salt, already well established in the European water softening market, and many choose it for its high purity combined with its lower environmental impact due to solar production.

Crystal salt is suitable for most tablet salt water softeners. Please check with your water softener manufacturer before purchasing for compatibility.

Hard water organically contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, due to the soil composition of locations across the UK. Calcium can cause build up of limescale throughout your home or business, affecting appliances, pipework & boilers, making them less energy efficient and often meaning costly repairs.

A water softener removes hardness minerals from your water supply, using a process called ion exchange and uses salt as a consumable product within the water treatment process - check out our article around the ion exchange process and the role salt plays in keeping your water soft.

Water softeners can vary in type and size, depending upon your home or businesses needs and PureSalt supply salt for a range of domestic and commercial water softeners, delivered nationwide

Purity is important in tablet salt as it is typically used for water softening, where impurities can cause damage to your water softener, leading to costly repairs and replacements, and for businesses can lead to costly downtime in production.
