Choosing the Right Type of Morton Water Softener Salt Crystals for Your Home
When it comes to maintaining the quality of your home’s water supply, investing in a water softener system is a wise decision. And if you’ve already taken that step, you know that choosing the right type of salt crystals for your Morton water softener is crucial for its optimal performance. With so many options available in the market, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is best suited for your needs. In this article, we will guide you through the different types of Morton water softener salt crystals and help you make an informed choice.
Regular Salt Crystals
Regular salt crystals are the most common and widely used type of salt for water softeners. Made from evaporated seawater or mined from underground salt deposits, these crystals are highly effective in removing hardness-causing minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water supply. They dissolve easily in water, ensuring a continuous supply of softened water throughout your home.
Regular salt crystals come in different forms such as pellets, cubes, or blocks. Pellets are the most popular choice as they are compact and easy to handle. They also dissolve evenly and minimize the chances of bridging or mushing within your water softener’s brine tank.
Iron-Removing Salt Crystals
If you live in an area with high iron content in your water supply, using regular salt may not be sufficient to tackle this specific issue. In such cases, Morton offers iron-removing salt crystals that are specifically designed to remove iron particles from your water.
Iron-removing salt crystals contain additives that help break down iron buildup inside your system and prevent staining on fixtures and clothing caused by excessive iron content. These additives enhance the performance of your Morton water softener by effectively reducing iron levels.
Potassium Chloride Crystals
For those who prefer an alternative to sodium-based salts due to health concerns or dietary restrictions, Morton offers potassium chloride crystals. These crystals work in the same way as regular salt crystals but use potassium instead of sodium as the water softening agent.
Potassium chloride crystals are a great option for individuals on low-sodium diets or those looking to reduce their sodium intake. They are also environmentally friendly and pose no harm to plants, making them an ideal choice for households with gardens or lawns.
Rust-Removing Salt Crystals
If your water supply is prone to rust or metallic taste, using regular salt may not be enough to address this issue. Morton’s rust-removing salt crystals are specifically formulated to eliminate rust particles from your water and improve its taste and clarity.
These salt crystals contain additives that act as rust inhibitors, preventing the formation of iron oxide in your water softener system. By removing rust particles, they help maintain the efficiency of your water softener and prolong its lifespan.
In conclusion, choosing the right type of Morton water softener salt crystals is essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of your system. Regular salt crystals are suitable for most households, while iron-removing salt crystals are necessary in areas with high iron content. Potassium chloride crystals offer a sodium-free alternative for those with dietary restrictions, and rust-removing salt crystals address issues related to rusty water. Consider your specific needs and consult with a professional if necessary to make an informed decision that ensures clean and softened water throughout your home.
