5 reasons why salt crystals are an interesting alternative for salt tablets
Choosing water softener salt often comes down to a single question: crystals or tablets? To settle the debate, Moses Co had both products thoroughly tested. The results are clear: Moses® Crystals match or surpass tablets in every respect, and they are often more environmentally friendly with a better price-performance ratio.

Exceeding Standards
MOSES® Crystals comply with European standard EN973A, meeting strict criteria for purity and heavy metals. Completely additive-free, they contain over 99.8% sodium chloride, far exceeding legal requirements. Insoluble matter is minimal (0.01%), and heavy metal content is less than a tenth of the allowed limit—making them food-grade quality salt you can trust.
Clear, Consistent Brine
The purity of MOSES® Crystals ensures a clear brine, critical for hassle-free operation and longevity of your water softener. Cloudy or brown brine indicates inferior salt that should be avoided.
Fast Solubility, Optimal Performance
MOSES® Crystals reach 90% saturation in just five minutes, compared to twenty minutes for tablets. This rapid dissolution ensures constant, optimal brine concentration, even during cold months or peak water usage. Importantly, faster solubility does not mean higher salt consumption—once saturation is reached, salt simply stops dissolving.
No Clogging, No Hassle
The crystalline structure of MOSES® Crystals allows water to pass freely, preventing bridging or sludge formation that can compromise softener function. Unlike unprocessed rock salt, these food-grade crystals guarantee reliability and smooth operation.
Eco-Friendly Advantage
Unlike energy-intensive vacuum-produced tablets, MOSES® Crystals are naturally evaporated, reducing your ecological footprint while delivering top-tier performance.
The Verdict
Salt tablets remain a valid option, but MOSES® Crystals offer a technically superior, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious alternative—all without compromising quality or reliability.
