| We just had a water softener installed. I just noticed the local grocery carries "regular" salt and salt that is supposed to help deal with "rust." Iron in the water is a common problem around here.
Anyway I wondered what the chemical difference is between the two kinds of salt. None of the websites I visited would say, only that it was an "FDA Approved additive" for the iron. Can anyone enlighten me?

| Usually citric acid or the like is added to treat the iron but it doesn't work as well as a routine regimen using Iron Out or a similar product. If you have a minimal amount of iron in your water then the best way to do it is... For resin cleaning, once a month use 1/4 cup of Iron Out, Super Iron Out, Rust Pro etc. dissolved into a gallon or two of warm water and pour it into the 4" round tube |
