salt pellets

Deicing road granules

Salt pellets are small, compressed granules of sodium chloride, typically used in water softeners to regenerate the resin that removes minerals from hard water.

They dissolve slowly, making them practical for mechanical systems that need a steady supply.

Salt pellets are also used for de-icing walkways and roads in winter: I need to pick up more salt pellets for the water softener.
