Water Softener Salt

Water Softeners FAQs

What happens when you don't put salt in a water softener?

If you run a dishwasher or glasswasher without salt, there is a risk of limescale build-up. Over time, this can cause breakdowns and costly repairs. It can also prevent your ware washers from running smoothly and can affect how well they perform.

So, for shiny glasses, sparkling plates and minimal minerals build-up make sure to use good quality water softener salt during every washing cycle.

Can you overfill a water softener with salt?

Yes, you can. All cleaning equipment is a bit different, so we can't offer you much advice on filling yours here. However, following the instructions that came with the machine ensures that you never overfill it.

Does it damage a water softener to run without salt?

Over time, equipment can become damaged by limescale build-up if salt isn't used regularly. There are many different types of salt available, so choosing the right one for your needs is important.
