What does a water softener do to the water?
Salt is sodium chloride. Some water softener salts have a very small level of anti-caking agent (sodiumhexametaphosphate) added. There will also be trace levels of impurities - but in brands manufactured from vacuum salt (e.g. the market leader Hydrosoft), these are very low (no different to food salt). What makes water softener salt special is that it is normally processed in to larger sized pieces than normal food salt i.e. granular (pea sized), tablet (lozenge sized) or block (brick sized). This is to allow the water to circulate freely so that the salt dissolves effectively. Julian Hobday of KindWater
