Salt of this grade is virtually free from dirt and other particulates that would eventually cause the softener to malfunction. A pellet type salt is recommended, although any high quality water soft- ener salt (such as solar salt) will suffice. If iron is present in raw water, use of iron inhibiting salt is recom- mended.
