Estimate your monthly salt tablet consumption (in kg and bags) to plan your logistics and monthly budgets.
Monthly salt requirements are directly proportional to the total mass of calcium carbonate dissolved in the water that the system must capture. The formula is:
The salt conversion factor accounts for the chemical ratio of salt (NaCl) required to displace calcium and magnesium ions on the resin. While theoretical exchange requires ~3g of salt per gram of hardness, actual system backwashing runs at approximately 3.5g to 4.2g of salt due to dilution losses in manual and commercial systems.
