Aquasol salt tablets are high-purity, pillow-shaped briquettes designed for regenerating domestic and light commercial water softeners. Available in single bags of 25kg with discount bands or available as bulk pallet quantities, see related products for more options.
Key features of the Aquasol brand are:
1. High Purity
- Food-Grade Quality: Aquasol tablets are made from 100% food-grade pure dried vacuum (PDV) salt, ensuring minimal impurities and safe use in water softening systems.
2. Efficient Dissolution
- Rapid Brine Formation: The carefully controlled compacting process produces hard, porous briquettes that dissolve quickly to form premium-quality brine, enhancing the efficiency of the water softening process.
3. Consistent Shape and Size
- Pillow-Shaped Briquettes: Each tablet is uniformly shaped, typically measuring 23 x 19 x 10 mm and weighing approximately 6.6 grams, ensuring consistent dissolution rates and easy handling.
4. Low Impurity Levels
- Minimal Contaminants: Aquasol tablets have very low levels of organic and inorganic impurities, minimizing the build-up of contaminants that can reduce softener efficiency.
These features make Aquasol salt tablets a reliable choice for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of water softening systems by effectively preventing limescale build-up and ensuring a consistent supply of softened water.
Always ensure that the salt tablets you choose are compatible with your specific water softener model to maintain optimal performance.
These bags are in stock now and can be collected from our depot in West Swindon or bought for UK mainland delivery with special delivery rates.

Salt tablets are specifically used in water softening systems to aid in the regeneration process of the resin beads inside the softener. Aquasol tablets are a premium and highly trusted brand that ensures reliability every time.
Purpose of Salt Tablets in Water Softening Systems
- Regeneration of Resin Beads:
- Water softeners use resin beads to remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium from water.
- Over time, the resin becomes saturated with these minerals and loses its ability to soften water.
- Salt tablets dissolve in the brine tank to create a concentrated saltwater solution (brine), which flushes the resin, replacing the hardness minerals with sodium ions and restoring the resin’s softening ability.
- Reduction of Hard Water Issues:
- Scale Prevention: Prevents limescale build up in plumbing, appliances, and fixtures.
- Appliance Efficiency: Improves the performance and lifespan of water-using appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters.
- Cleaner Results: Leads to softer laundry, spot-free dishes, and better soap lathering.
- Maintaining Optimal System Performance:
- Salt tablets provide a reliable and consistent supply of brine for the system, ensuring uninterrupted water softening.
- They minimize impurities that could clog or damage the softener.
Advantages of Using Salt Tablets Over Other Salt Forms
- Compact and Uniform Shape:
- Salt tablets dissolve more evenly compared to loose salt crystals or pellets, ensuring a steady brine concentration.
- Ease of Use:
- The pillow or briquette-like shape is easy to handle and load into the brine tank.
- Low Maintenance:
- They are less prone to clumping or forming “salt bridges,” which can disrupt the water softener’s functionality.
- High Purity:
- High-purity salt tablets reduce the build up of insoluble residues in the brine tank, requiring less frequent cleaning.
Specific Uses for Salt-Softened Water
- Domestic:
- Soften water for daily household use (showers, laundry, dishwashing, etc.).
- Protect pipes and appliances from scale damage.
- Commercial:
- In restaurants or hotels, softened water is crucial for guest comfort and for maintaining dishwashers and boilers.
- Used in laundromats for softer and cleaner laundry.
- Industrial:
- For manufacturing processes where hard water can affect machinery or product quality.
