Yes, solar salt is sometimes sold in pellet form, though it is also commonly available in crystal or coarse form.
Solar Salt Forms and Uses
Solar salt, known for its high sodium chloride content (typically 99.5% or higher), is widely used in water softening. This application requires the salt to dissolve effectively and consistently. To meet these needs, solar salt is available in different physical forms:
- Crystals (Coarse): This is a common form, sometimes described as coarse solar salt.
- Pellets: Solar salt in pellet form is another frequently used option, particularly for water softeners.
The choice between crystals and pellets often comes down to personal preference or the specific requirements of the water softening system. Both forms are effective at regenerating the resin beads in a water softener, which is the key to removing hardness minerals from water.
