Water Softener Salt Usage, Resin-Based
Example, 10 liters.
Forward uses more salt, reverse uses less.
Forward: min 160 g/L, avg 200 g/L, max 240 g/L. Reverse: min 80 g/L, avg 120 g/L, max 160 g/L.
Estimated usage in Kg (kilograms): 0
References used: 100 to 240 g of salt per liter of resin per cycle based on flow and parameters. Typical average is 160 g/L using 8% concentration with solution volume ≈ 2 × resin volume.
Warning: This calculation is not exact science. It should only be considered as a guideline. Other types or brands of water softeners can behave differently.
