Formulated free from chemical additives, anti-caking agents, allergens, and impurities, Broxo 6-15 maintains exceptionally low levels of insolubles (≤ 20 mg/kg) and trace hardness metals (calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese). This high chemical purity prevents sludge accumulation at the bottom of brine reservoirs and extends the operational lifespan of ion-exchange resins and multi-media filter beds (such as ECOMIX®). Packaged in a moisture-resistant 25 kg polyethylene bag (containing a minimum of 30% recycled plastic), it is suitable for all cabinet and twin-tank water softeners, dishwasher salt compartments, and food-grade brining applications.
Key Benefits & Capabilities:
Ultra-High Chemical Purity (99.9% NaCl): Vacuum-dried sodium chloride ensures clean brine preparation with minimal trace hardness ions (Ca & Mg ≤ 2.0 mg/kg) and heavy metals.
Controlled Dissolution Without Bridging: High-pressure compacted 6–15 mm coarse granules resist premature disintegration, preventing salt mushing and hollow salt bridges inside brine tanks.
Negligible Insoluble Residue: Ultra-low insoluble matter (≤ 20 mg/kg) keeps brine wells, injectors, and air-check valves free from sediment buildup and clogging.
Certified European Standards: Fully compliant with EN 973 (Grade A & B) for water softening regeneration, EN 14805 (Type 2), EN 16401 (Grade A & B), and Codex Alimentarius food-grade standards.
Additive-Free & Equipment Safe: Contains zero anti-caking chemicals, binders, or foreign additives that could foul cation exchange resins or multi-component filter media.

Recommended Operational Conditions:
Compatibility: All residential and commercial cabinet water softeners (e.g., Ecosoft CUBE, Core, Anthracite), twin-tank commercial softeners, and industrial brine makers
Recommended Brine Tank Fill Level: Keep salt level above the water line at all times (ideally filled to approximately two-thirds of tank capacity)
Storage Conditions: Store in original sealed packaging in a clean, dry indoor environment away from excessive humidity and direct moisture
Shelf Life: 3 years from date of manufacture under proper storage conditions
Please note: Always keep the salt level above the water level inside the brine tank to guarantee saturated brine formation for complete resin regeneration. Do not overfill the brine tank to the very rim, and allow at least 4 hours after refilling an empty tank for the salt to dissolve into a fully saturated brine solution before initiating manual regeneration. Store unopened bags in a dry area off the floor to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
