SOFT-SEL® CRYSTALS, salt crystals

As a 100% natural product, SOFT-SEL® CRYSTALS is the ultimate reference product for water softening salt. Many other brands on the market are chemically purified and compressed salts. SOFT-SEL® CRYSTALS on the other hand do not contain any additives and are produced only using fresh water. This makes these salt crystals an altogether more ecological as well as better value alternative to salt tablets.

Quality is equivalent; the environmental gain lies entirely in the production of the salt.
