5 reasons why Salt Crystals are an excellent alternative to Salt Tablets

When you buy salt for your water softener, you often face the same choice: salt crystals or salt tablets. Many users are familiar with tablets, but salt crystals are quickly gaining popularity – and that's no coincidence. Behind their rough, natural form lies a high-quality, ecological, and cost-effective solution for water softening.

Below you will discover 5 compelling reasons why salt crystals, such as SOFT-SEL® CRYSTALS, are a particularly interesting alternative to traditional salt tablets.



1. Always soft and pure water

The quality of your water softening salt directly determines the quality of your water. SOFT-SEL® CRYSTALS not only meet the strictest standards for drinking water softening, but they even exceed them.

These salt crystals are food grade and have an exceptionally high purity level, ensuring that you always enjoy soft, pure, and reliable water throughout your home.

2. Longer lifespan of your water softener

Thanks to their high purity, salt crystals do not clump together in the salt tank of your water softener. This prevents blockages and irregular regeneration.

The result? A more efficient operation, fewer disruptions, and a clearly longer lifespan of your water softener.

3. Environmentally friendly and naturally produced

Salt crystals are significantly more ecological than salt tablets.

Where tablets are often sourced from underground mines and subsequently chemically purified, SOFT-SEL® CRYSTALS are formed through the natural evaporation of saltwater.

This makes salt crystals a sustainable choice with a lower ecological impact.

4. More financially advantageous in the long term

Due to the simple and natural production process, salt crystals are often cheaper than salt tablets.

In addition, they require less maintenance and provide a longer lifespan for your installation, which leads to additional savings on repairs and energy consumption.

So, an excellent price-quality ratio.

5. Freedom of choice and ease of use

SOFT-SEL® CRYSTALS are available in classic bags of 25 kg, but also in an ergonomic size of 15 kg.

That makes them ideal for both intensive use and for those who want to lift lighter and refill more comfortably, without compromising on quality.
