Salt for water softener or dishwasher

You've probably already wondered what the difference is between softening salt and dishwasher salt, and which one is best for your needs.

Softener salt and dishwasher salt have different uses and it is important not to get confused when purchasing and refilling the salt container for your appliance. Softener salt is specially designed to remove limescale deposits from hard water and reduce the hardness of the water leaving the water softener. This water softener generally has the function of producing softened water in the water network. Dishwasher salt also has the function of limiting the hardness of the water, which has a very negative impact on the washing result. However, the formulation of dishwasher salt and its presentation are very different. Dishwasher salt is used in dishwashers to improve their cleaning efficiency.

Softening salt is made from pure salt crystals and is typically used in water softeners to protect your appliances, pipes and faucets from limescale buildup.

On the other hand, dishwasher salt contains specific minerals that help prevent limescale deposits on dishes and achieve sparkling cleanliness.

So, which salt should you choose for your needs? It depends on the usage and the devices you have. Make sure you make the right choice to get optimal results.
