Do you need salt blocks for your water softener? If so, no, certainly for any fresh water system. A marine system I will leave an answer to someone else but obviously you have keep salt levels absolutely right in a marine tank.
Nope
Hi all,
Because of where you live <"Some handy facts about water"> you are going to have hard water, with a lot of calcium (Ca), <"and the ion exchange swaps one calcium ion (Ca++) for two sodium (Na+) ions">.
This is a useful reference from <"Lenntech"> - <"https://www.lenntech.com/Data-sheets/Ion-Exchange-for-Dummies-RH.pdf">

Unfortunately what the others say <"Household water softener water usability">.

Hi all,

Same for us, <"kinetic water softener with a salt block"> and <"very hard, alkaline water">. We used to get through a lot of electric showers, but we now get through a lot of salt ......
