tablet salt and block salt

Here's a little known fact:

All water softeners use brine to regenerate, not dry salt. There is absolutely no difference between brine made from block salt or tablet salt.

The real difference is just marketing. We know, we sell both at Ensign - The Water Softener Centre

You can use block salt in a tablet salt water softener and you can use tablet salt in a block salt softener.

10Kg Tablet salt is consumed at the same rate, does exactly the same job in the water softener and costs a lot less than 8Kg block salt.

Granular salt is not recommended for use in any modern water softener after 1988.

We supply more 10Kg tablet salt than 8Kg block salt nowadays.
