Extend the life of your pipes and appliances with new water softeners from Ace. Choose from a range of top-rated softeners to find the perfect solution for your home, from efficient water softener crystals that fight unpleasant mineral tastes to specialized pellets that combat rust and residue from iron-rich water. With a wide range of different formulas, Ace makes it easy to find the best water softener salt for you. 

Choosing a Water Softener Treatment

The first step to choosing the best water softener treatment is to check the mineral balance of your water. Water softener chemicals attach to hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium, trading them for the ions in your softener. If you discover you have high iron content in your water, you can buy specialized iron-fighting chemicals to maximize the efficiency of your softener. Heavy rainfall and weather changes can also impact the minerals in your water, so it's a good idea to set up a regular schedule for checking your water composition.  

Once you know what's in your water, choose hard water treatments that best fit your unique needs. Each type of chemical and format has a range of benefits. Browse the tips below to find the treatment that’s right for you.

Sodium Chloride Softener

Keep your pipes clean and your laundry soft by adding sodium chloride to your water softener. Salt crystals are a safe product that is recommended for use in most water softeners. While you shop, look for the following considerations: 

  • Purity:The higher the purity rating of your salt, the less residue it leaves in the bottom of your tank. Choose from softeners salts with 99 percent purity and above to fight mushing and bridging while minimizing water tank maintenance. 
  • Soluble Content:Pure sodium chloride has a low insoluble content, ensuring that you get the most out of every bag. The dissolved crystals combat tank residue, helping to keep your plumbing fresh and clean. 
  • Processing Form:Softener salt can be made in several different ways, and comes in crystals, pellets and bars. Solar salts are a reliable choice for most water softeners and tend to leave only a small amount of buildup in the bottom of your tank. For water with a high hardness level, evaporated salts have the highest purity and work best to combat bridging and mushing.  

Potassium Chloride Softener

Fight tank buildup, rust and residue with potassium chloride water softener pellets. From pure potassium chloride to combination chemical treatments, salt alternatives have a range of benefits for your health and home. While you shop, look for the following considerations: 

  • Low Sodium: Potassium chloride is a low-sodium alternative to traditional water softener salts. These top-rated products are recommended for all types of water softeners to remove hard water minerals, all while minimizing the accumulation of tank residue. 
  • Mineral-Specific Treatments: If you’re looking for a way to fight rust stains, try a combination product that includes specially formulated ingredients to convert dissolved iron into insoluble oxides. Your softener then filters out the solids, saving your pipes and clothing from residue. 

Water Softener Pellets vs Crystals

Price can be a big factor when choosing between water softener pellets and crystals. Water softener crystals tend to be more affordable, allowing you to treat your water without breaking the bank. They are effective in two-part water softeners but may need to be ground down before they’re used.

Water softener pellets do not need to be ground down and dissolve faster in water than crystals. You are also less likely to have issues with clogging or bridging as a result. This is a big advantage for some homeowners, offsetting the slightly higher price.
