No, to soften water, you need a water softener. The salt used in the brine tank of a water softener does not directly soften the water, but is used to regenerate the resin beads in your water softener. These actually soften the water from your well by removing the hard water ions, calcium, magnesium and iron.
Good quality water softener salt is chemically no different to food  salt and some products are supplied as food grade e.g. Hydrosoft  Granular salt. Too much of anything â¦ will kill you, but anyone  trying to eat handfuls of salt will soon vomit it up.he â¦ n the water softener goes through its regeneration cycle, it mixes the salt with water to make a very strong salt solution (brine), which it uses to flush the resin filter. The sodium ions in the brine replace the calcium and magnesium ions that have been collected by the resin; this refreshes the resin.
