Water Softener Salt

Do you struggle with dry skin, dry hair and mineral buildup from hard water? Give your water a softening boost with water softener salts at Tractor Supply. Our salts are formulated to absorb minerals while reducing residues in your brine tank, enabling more efficient performance. You'll enjoy better lathers, healthier skin, fewer stains and longer-lasting appliances.

Improving Your Water Efficiency

Hard water buildup is a common complaint in many households. It leaves mineral deposits that can stain your fixtures, damage your pipes and reduce the efficiency of your appliances. It also affects your soap lather, making it harder to clean your skin and hair. Unfortunately, whether drawing water from a well or a municipal service, millions of homes across the country have hard water. Residents commonly deal with itchy skin, dull or brittle hair, stiff laundry and stubborn discoloration on sinks and faucets.

Water softener salts help improve water quality by reducing hard water buildup. They restore your water softener's mineral-trapping action, helping it to capture dissolved minerals for softer, smoother-flowing water. The softened water rinses cleaner and doesn't leave scaling inside your pipes or appliances, helping you save on expensive repairs and replacements.

Use in Your Water Softener

Our water-softening salts are designed for use in a water softener device. Simply pour the salt into your water softener until the reservoir is at least half full. When hard water passes through the softener, the salt absorbs most suspended minerals, leaving you with softer water that's better for you and your plumbing.

Crystals, Pellets and Blocks

Different water softeners have different requirements, which is why we carry salts to meet each. Water softener salt crystals are naturally formed, making them a cost-effective option that works well in nearly any softener. Pellets are formulated for superior mineral absorption and may include additional agents to counteract rust. Blocks offer convenient handling and are easy to load into compatible water softeners designed specifically for salt blocks.

Fight Mineral Buildup

Your water's mineral composition depends on its source, your pipes and other factors. Standard water softener salts are great for removing the most common types, including calcium and magnesium. If you routinely find yellowish or reddish iron stains on your laundry, then get our specialized pellets for extra iron-removing power. We also contain potassium chloride salts for a low-sodium alternative.

Reduce Mushing and Bridging

Over time, salts in a water softener can mush, fuse and harden together into a single mass. Hardened salt reduces your reservoir capacity and is difficult to clean out. Our water softener salts are formulated to reduce mushing and bridging, helping prevent stuck pieces and residues. Your softener will work more efficiently and reliably, requiring fewer cleanings.
