FAQs

What does PDV salt mean?

PDV stands for Pure Dried Vacuum. It signifies salt that has been purified through a vacuum drying process, resulting in a very high level of purity with minimal trace minerals.

How often should I add salt blocks?

The frequency depends on your water usage and the size of your water softener's brine tank. Regularly check the salt level in your tank and add blocks when it is low, typically when the level drops below half the tank's capacity.

Can I mix these salt blocks with other types of salt?

It is generally recommended not to mix different types of salt, as this can affect the efficiency and performance of your water softener. Use only the recommended type of salt for your unit.

Are these salt blocks safe for drinking water systems?

Yes, these are food-grade, high-purity salt blocks, meaning they are safe for use in water softeners connected to potable water supplies.

What is the benefit of using pure salt blocks?

Pure salt blocks like these ensure that only pure sodium chloride is introduced into the softening process, preventing the addition of unwanted minerals or contaminants that could affect water quality or damage the softener.

How many blocks are in a 3-pack?

A 3-pack contains a total of 6 salt blocks, with two blocks per pack within the outer packaging.

Troubleshooting

Salt blocks not dissolving

Ensure the water level in the brine tank is correct. Too little water can hinder dissolution. Check for any obstructions around the blocks.

Water softener not regenerating

Verify that the salt blocks are adequately covering the brine well and that the unit has sufficient salt. Check the water softener's manual for other potential causes.

Carry handle on packaging is damaged

Handle the packaging with care from the sides. Use alternative methods for lifting and carrying if the handle is compromised to avoid dropping the blocks.
