How Water Softener Salt Works:

Water softener salt is essential for the regeneration process in ion exchange water softening systems. During regeneration cycles, the salt dissolves in water to create a concentrated brine solution. This brine flows through the resin tank, where sodium ions from the salt replace the accumulated calcium and magnesium ions on the resin beads. True Value salt products are formulated to dissolve at optimal rates, creating consistent brine strength that ensures thorough regeneration while minimizing common issues like salt mushing, bridging, and insoluble buildup in the brine tank.
