Which salt do I have to use for my softening system?

When purchasing salt for a softening system, please pay attention to the following properties:

  • Name: Regenerating salt for water treatment systems
  • Form: tablet form
  • made from pure evaporated salt
  • Required standards: EN 973A (DIN 19604)
  • Quality standards according to ISO 9001:2000

You can also order the salt in our online shop.

How often does the salt need to be refilled?

How often the salt needs to be refilled in a softening system depends on three factors: the salt consumption of the softening system, your water consumption and your water hardness. In a single-family home with 4 people and a water hardness of 20 °dH, you have to top up the salt about every 8 weeks. You should always top up the salt when the water is visible in the salt container and not before, otherwise clumping can occur.

Important: The softening system should never be operated without salt.

How much salt can be filled?

Please refer to the relevant data sheet or the following table regarding the filling quantities and please do not fill in more salt than stated:

FILTRASOFT model maximum salt filling quantity
BASIC 20 25kg / 1 bag
BASIC 40 75kg / 3 bags
BASIC 60 75kg / 3 bags
DUPLEX 20 25kg / 1 bag
DUPLEX 40 75kg / 3 bags
DUPLEX 60 75kg / 3 bags

Where is the salt put?

For BASIC systems, please remove the blue cover and the octagonal lid underneath. Pour the salt into the large opening shown. For DUPLEX systems, remove the blue lid of the salt container and fill in the salt there.

Yes that works. However, it is a little more difficult to fill because the tablets are quite large and usually just fit through the opening.

The softening salt commonly used in water softening systems is generally not ideal for salt electrolysis systems for chlorine production in swimming pools. Here are the main reasons:

  • Degree of purity: Salt for pool electrolysis systems must have a very high degree of purity, often over 99%. Softener salt may contain impurities that are not a problem for water softening systems (as they are flushed out), but can cause problems in an electrolysis system.

  • Solubility and additives: Softener salt may contain additives that could affect the function of electrolytic cells or cause deposits in your pool. Salt for pool electrolysis systems is specially designed to dissolve quickly and without leaving any residue.

  • Effects on Pool Equipment: Using the wrong salt can cause damage to the electrolytic cell and other pool components, which can result in expensive repairs or replacement.

  • For these reasons, it is recommended to use salt specifically designed for pool electrolysis systems. This is tailored to the requirements and specifications of such systems and ensures that your pool system functions efficiently and without damage. If in doubt, you should follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of your pool electrolysis system.

    No, the driver does not carry the salt into the cellar, but rather places it on the curb.
