do you use salt in your home? If so, you probably already know that regular table salt contains sodium chloride (NaCl). Water softeners use salt to soften hard water. The most common types of salt used in these systems are calcium chloride (CaCl2) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). These salts are available at hardware stores and grocery stores. Here’s how to choose the right kind for your water softener.
There are two main types of salt used in water softening systems: calcium chloride (CaCl) and magnesium sulfate. Both types work well, but there are some differences between them. Calcium chloride works better with low levels of hardness, while magnesium sulfate works better with high levels of hardness. If you have hard water, you should buy calcium chloride. If you have very soft water, you should buy magnesium sulfate.
If you are looking for a salt that is easy to store and use, then you should consider using rock salt. It is inexpensive and easy to find. However, it does not dissolve as well as other salts.
