Short answer
There is no single amount that suits every home or business. Salt use depends on your softener model and settings, your water hardness, and how much water you use. Your softener's manual or settings are the best guide; keep the salt level topped up and reorder before it runs low.
What affects how much salt you use?
- Your softener. Different models and settings use different amounts of salt per regeneration.
- Water hardness. Harder water generally means more frequent regeneration.
- Water use. More people, appliances or business use means more regeneration.
A practical way to work it out
- Note the date and salt level when you fill the tank.
- Check it again after a few weeks and see how much has been used.
- Use that rate to plan how many bags or packs you need between orders.
Your softener's manual or installer can tell you the expected salt use for your settings.
Choosing a quantity
For homes, a single bag or a small multi-bag pack is often a convenient starting point. The 25kg tablet product offers 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20-bag options online. Businesses and multi-site customers can request bulk, pallet or trade pricing, and anyone can enquire about repeat supply.
Common questions
- How often should I check my salt level?
- Check regularly, and follow your softener manufacturer's guidance. Top up before the salt runs low.
- Is it worth buying several bags at once?
- Buying several bags reduces how often you need to reorder. On the 25kg product, multi-bag packs show the price per bag.
- Can I set up regular deliveries?
- Yes, by enquiry. We confirm the schedule and price with you before anything is arranged.
