Where to get water softener salt?

Geez! I can't believe how many of you have water softners. I've just been looking at prices, and they cost hundreds of pounds. I 'must' be poor!

Depends where you live? Click4salt also sell softeners and arrange service contracts but regional so may not be your area.

Just bought 125kg of tablet salt from Clarks of Totton, serves Hampshire and Dorset, cost £40.50 delivered, same as last year + 2.5% extra for VAT. Still best price I can find, can anyone beat this in this area? :j :j :j

Ive tried gritandsaltsupplies.co.uk
Not bad actually paid less for a 25kg bag and free delivery too.
They also supply block salt.

Wickes have 25kg bags of hydrosoft salt tablets for £6.99.

Hope that helps someone

Try Googling "softener salt" for lots of alternatives?

Water softener salt is used very heavily in the Commercial Market in tablet, block, or granular options, but if you use a Commercial Supplier it may be cheaper but will have to be in bulk!

Apparently very few Wickes stores sell softener salt. When I tried my local branch, Barking, they told me they did not. I mentioned that I had heard from the MoneySavingExpert forum that they did. The manager was called and he said they did in fact have a pallet of salt which had been sent to them in error and which he was about to return! So I bought two bags. When I mentioned MoneySavingExpert he said he would put some bags on the shelves to test the demand. Such is the power of this forum! So if you live in the East London/Essex area please get down to Wickes Barking and create some demand. The product code is 221263.
