Questions buyers ask about water-treatment salt
Is the salt approved for drinking-water treatment?
Approval depends on the destination country and the treatment step. We supply lot test reports so the buyer's regulator or auditor can assess conformity; we do not state approval we have not obtained.
Can you supply softener tablets?
No. Tablets are compacted from refined salt. We supply coarse crystal salt suitable as feedstock for that process.
What is the minimum order?
200 t, typically eight to ten 20-ft containers of big bags, or one coaster for bulk brine-salt users.
