Myth: Using salt is bad for the environment

A water softener is good for the environment because a water softener significantly reduces the use of detergents, cleaning products and personal care products, and even cuts the use of descaling agents down to zero! What’s more, using a water softener improves the efficiency of heating elements in Qookers, kettles, boilers and so on. So, as well as being good for the environment, it’s also good for your wallet. 

It is true, however, that the use of a A water softener involves the use of salt. Salt itself is not harmful to the environment. In the winter of 2014–2015, for example, around 100 million kilograms of road salt ended up on the streets, and even quantities of that size do not cause environmental problems.
