Rock Salt

Rock salt, also known as halite, is another type of salt that we can provide for water-softening systems.

This is one of the less common types of water-softening salt.

Our rock salt can be ordered directly from our website for domestic orders. If you are after a commercial order, please contact us.

Rock Salt for Water Softening Systems

Rock salt is primarily composed of sodium chloride, similar to granular salt, but it typically contains impurities such as minerals and sediment, which gives it a darker colour.

Rock Salt is generally used in older or simpler water-softening systems as it isn’t as efficient as pure salt options.

Here are some key points to consider when using rock salt for water-softening systems:

Purity: Rock salt typically contains impurities such as minerals and sediment, which can accumulate in the water softener and reduce its efficiency over time.

Compatibility: Not all water softeners are designed to use rock salt. Before using rock salt in your water softening system, check the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure compatibility.

Maintenance: Because of its impurities and slower dissolution rate, water softeners that use rock salt may require more frequent cleaning and maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

If you have any questions about Rock Salt for your water softening system or want to place a commercial order, please contact us.
