Water Softening Salt
Water softening salt is a type of salt specifically used in water softening systems to remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium from water. It usually comes in the form of small crystals or pellets. The salt used for this purpose is often derived from rock salt or evaporated sea salt, and it may contain additives to help with water softening efficiency.

APPLICATION & USAGE
- Water Softening: Water softening salt is primarily used in water softeners to regenerate ion exchange resins. These resins remove hardness ions from the water and replace them with sodium ions, softening the water and reducing scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
- Industrial Applications: Water softening salt finds applications in various industries, including manufacturing, food processing, and boiler systems, where hard water can cause scaling and efficiency issues.
- Commercial Use: Commercial establishments, such as hotels and restaurants, often use water softening salt to ensure the longevity and efficiency of their water-using equipment.
- Municipal Water Treatment: In some cases, water softening salt may be used in large-scale municipal water treatment plants to address water hardness issues in the local water supply.
