Why Struggle With the Weight of 25Kg Salt or the Price Premium of Block Salt ?
Did you know that more and more people use the 10Kg salt bags these days.

Meaning
Block Salt Softener
Ordinary water softener in which the manufacturer promotes the use of
block salt only, and just happens to be the only supplier in the UK.
Customer is obliged into expensive brand loyalty by a rather unfair
claim that their warranty might be voided by the use of any other brand
of salt.
Block Salt: 8Kg pack
Compacted salt in the form of a single 4Kg block the size of a house brick. Sold in 8Kg
packs. Can be used in all water softeners. Easy
to handle.
Tablet Salt: 10Kg bag
Compacted salt in the form of multiple 1.5cm tablets. Introduced 1998. Sold in 10Kg
polythene bags with handle. Can be used in all water softeners. Easy to
handle.
Tablet Salt: 25Kg bag
Pre 1998 size. Increasingly redundant size caused by the introduction of the 10Kg
tablet salt size.
Granular Salt: 10Kg bag
Low density salt. 1.0mm to 3.5mm crystals. Could be used in all water
softeners, but is increasingly less popular due to difficulty in
handling such a large size and very messy in use.
For today's water softener owner, our experience leads us to thoroughly recommend the bags of specially produced
10kg tablet salt for your water softener. This simply because:-
It's very easy to fill the softener with the 10Kg size and has a carry handle.
It's produced to an International food grade quality ISO 9001.
It's widely available from different suppliers so you won't be tied to just one source.
Nowadays, it costs similar per Kg to buy an equal weight in 10Kg bags rather than the older 25Kg bag size.
It can be used in all types of water softener.
It costs a lot less than block salt!
IMPORTANT: Since all water softeners actually use a brine solution, not dry salt in their recharge process, they can't actually tell the difference between
a block, tablet or granule of salt. So like all water softeners, the Ensign machines can use all types of salt; granular, tablets and block salt.
However since 1998, water softener salt has been available in the 10Kg bag
size with handle, which is economical, very convenient for the user to handle and is increasingly taking over from the traditional 25Kg bag size.
We think the 10Kg size is so good we want you to try some when you next purchase
your water softener salt. We think you'll like it.
You wouldn't drive a car without a fuel gauge would you? Then why own a water softener without a salt monitor... (more)
