Where can I get regeneration salt?

Of course, you can buy the salt directly from our shop. This way you can have it delivered to your home easily and conveniently (to the curb).

Salt for water softeners is also available in almost every local hardware store. The salt should be of consistently high quality in accordance with EN 973A (DIN 19604) and ISO 9001:2000.

What properties should the salt have?

• Pay attention to the correct name, such as: high-quality regeneration salt for ion exchange systems / decalcification systems / water softening systems
• Manufacturers include CLARAMAT® (or equivalent)
• The salt should have consistent top quality according to EN 973A (DIN 19604) according to ISO 9001:2000

How often should the salt be refilled?

This depends on various factors:

- The salt consumption of the water softener
- Your water consumption
- your water hardness

Calculation example

For a single-family home with 4 people and a water hardness of 20 °dH, you need to refill the salt approximately every 8 weeks

Please note

You should always refill the salt when you see water in the salt container and not earlier, otherwise clumping may occur

How do I refill the salt when it is empty?

A distinction is made between basic and duplex systems.
For basic systems, the blue cover is removed and the octagonal cover underneath.
In duplex systems, the blue lid of the salt container is removed.

The salt is filled into the large opening as shown.
