10Kg water softener tablet salt with handle - the new standard size since 1998

Since 1998, water softener tablet salt has been available in a 10Kg bag size from Ensign, which is very convenient for the user to handle and has now all but taken over from the traditional 25Kg bag size.

Nowadays, weight for weight it costs less per Kg to buy it in 10Kg bags than the older 25Kg size.

Costs a lot less than block salt too!
