Southern Softflow can supply all types of salt for your water softener. We'll deliver direct to you or you are welcome to collect your Block Salt from our warehouse in Wimborne.

Salt is an essential element of the water softener. Water softeners remove the minerals in hard water by catching them in the resin within your water softener. The build-up of minerals in the resin needs to be flushed out regularly and so your water softener 'regenerates'.

With a twin cylinder water softener, the water softener regenerates one cylinder at a time: the amount of water passing through the first cylinder is measured by a water meter and when enough water has passed through, the second cylinder takes over. Meanwhile, the first cylinder regenerates by flushing out this mineral using a mixture of soft water and sodium (salt).
