About All Natural Solar Salt Water Softener Crystals

Made from seawater evaporated by the sun and wind, this all natural solar salt keeps your water softener doing its job. The crystals dissolve cleanly, help remove hardness minerals, and pour easily into any brine tank. Choose an 8 lb bag for top-offs or 40 and 50 lb bags to stock up for the season.

Why Customers Choose All Natural Solar Salt Water Softener Crystals

  • 100% Natural: Solar evaporated salt crystals with no added chemicals.
  • Removes Hardness: Supports regeneration so calcium and magnesium stay out of your plumbing.
  • Less Residue: Clean crystals help keep the brine tank free of sludge.
  • Fits Standard Softeners: Suitable for standard ion-exchange softeners in homes and businesses.
  • Easy-Pour Bags: Sized for top-offs or full refills.

How It Works

An ion-exchange water softener uses resin beads to trap the calcium and magnesium that make water hard. Salt in the brine tank makes the brine that rinses those minerals away during regeneration, so the resin can keep softening your water. Clean, high-purity salt means less leftover residue in the tank and fewer cleanouts.

Where It Works Best

Homeowners who want a natural crystal alternative to pellets, and anyone refilling a standard brine tank.

Where Not to Use It

  • Softeners that call for pellets only: check your owner's manual first
  • High-efficiency units prone to bridging
  • Do not mix very different salt types in one tank

How to Use All Natural Solar Salt Water Softener Crystals

  1. Check the brine tank. If the salt level is below the water line, it is time to add more.
  2. Break up any crust or bridge (a hard salt shelf) with a broom handle before refilling.
  3. Pour salt in until the tank is about half to two-thirds full. Keep the level a few inches above the water line.
  4. Avoid mixing very different salt types in the same tank to reduce the chance of mushing.
  5. Check the level monthly. Most households add salt every four to eight weeks, depending on water hardness and use.

Questions about this product

Ask a question ›
Will it work in my softener?
It is made for residential water softeners. Check your softener manual for the recommended salt type.
How often should I add salt?
Check the brine tank about once a month and keep it at least a quarter to half full. Usage depends on your water hardness and household size.
Can I mix it with another salt?
It is best not to mix salt types. Let the tank run low before switching.
What is solar salt?
Solar salt is salt made by evaporating seawater with the sun and wind. The clean crystals dissolve into the brine your softener uses to regenerate.
Pellets or crystals: which is better for my water softener?
Solar salt crystals work in most residential ion-exchange softeners. If your manufacturer specifies pellets only, or your high-efficiency unit tends to bridge, pellets are usually the better fit. Check your owner's manual first.
What causes salt bridges in a water softener?
A bridge is a hard salt shelf that forms in the brine tank and keeps salt from reaching the water below. Break it up with a broom handle before refilling, and check the level monthly.
What sizes are available?
Size: 8 lb, 40 lb, 50 lb. The price shown is per 8 lb unless you pick another option.
