There are different types of water softener salt available in the UK, some of which can be used in water softeners and others that shouldn’t and that can affect the efficiency and reliability of your water softener and invalidate your Warranty. We aim to make it easy to understand why Harvey Block and Mini Curve Water Softener Salt is the best option for your Water Softener.

What should you look out for in the different Grades and Quality of Salt?

Water softener salt should be 'Food Grade' salt which is a crystalline product consisting predominantly of sodium chloride. Most food-grade salt is heated and evaporated to crystallise the salt. After this, Water softener salt is then graded into two categories:

Grade A

Grade A quality salt is either PDV (Pure Dried Vacuum from Natural Brine Solution) or Mined from underground rock salt deposits. This is the best salt for water softeners and will prolong your machine's life. Harvey Water Softeners only uses Grade A PDV (Food-Grade) quality Water Softener Salt giving you complete peace of mind and protection for your softener, warranty and home.

Grade B

Grade B quality is either obtained from the sea (Marine) or is PDV (Pure Dried Vacuum from Marine salt). The purity of Grade B salt is questionable as it comes from seawater which is directed into large outdoor ponds. Using just the sun, wind and time, the water evaporates, and salt crystals are left behind. The salt is then washed and processed into block forms. Marine salt contains impurities, making the salt darker as it dissolves, resulting in a scum forming inside your machine. While this salt is readily available and is cheaper, you may find it will invalidate your manufacturer's warranty and can reduce the machine's life and almost certainly will increase maintenance costs and frequency.

Remember, when you buy Water Softener salt from Harvey Water Softeners you're also getting the following:
