Product Information
Full details
Axal Water Softener Salt Tablets are designed for homeowners, facility managers, and industrial users who need a high-purity solution to prevent limescale accumulation. By utilizing Grade A PDV standards and advanced compaction technology, these tablets facilitate efficient ion-exchange, protecting vital infrastructure like boilers, dishwashers, and piping from mineral damage. While they provide excellent performance and appliance longevity, users must ensure their specific softener model is compatible with compressed salt pellets rather than block or granular alternatives.

FAQs
Can I mix these with other types of salt?
It is recommended to use one consistent type of salt to ensure the system regenerates properly and to avoid clogging the brine injector.
How often should I refill the brine tank?
Frequency depends on your water usage and hardness levels. Most users check once a month and refill as needed.
Are these tablets safe for septic systems?
Yes, standard water softener salts are generally safe for septic systems when used in normal household quantities.
Does 99.50% purity matter?
Yes, higher purity salt results in less insoluble material accumulating in your brine tank, reducing the frequency of required deep-cleaning.
Can I use these for my fish tank?
No, these are formulated for water softening systems to treat household and industrial pipes and should not be used in aquariums.
Troubleshooting
Salt bridging (salt forms a crust at the top of the tank)
Gently break the crust with a long, blunt plastic rod. Ensure the humidity in the storage area is kept low.
System showing high water hardness despite full salt tank
Check the salt level to ensure it is submerged. If the salt is correct, consult a professional to check if the resin bed needs cleaning or if the injector is clogged.
Residue in the brine tank
While Axal tablets are high purity, debris can enter during refills. Empty the tank, wash with mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly before adding fresh tablets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your system, ensure the brine tank is clean before adding the first batch of Axal tablets. Pour the tablets directly into the brine tank, ensuring they are not stacked too high if you have a compact unit. It is best practice to keep the tank at least half-full with salt at all times to ensure the system has enough concentrated brine for each regeneration cycle.
Check your water softener manual to confirm it accepts standard salt tablets. Inspect the tank periodically for 'bridging'—where salt sticks together—by gently prodding the top layer with a blunt plastic rod. Store the bags in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption, which can compromise the tablet integrity.
