🚀 Launching Our Innovative Tools Hub: Salt Silo’s Game-Changing Resources for Smarter Decisions

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Salt Silo Innovative Tools page - a brand-new section of our website dedicated to giving you the power to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions when it comes to your salt and water treatment needs. And what better way to kick things off than by introducing the first tool in our line-up: Model 1.2 of the Salt Savings Calculator.

đź’ˇ Why We Built the Salt Savings Calculator

Whether you're managing procurement for a school, hospital, hotel, or industrial facility, we know how tricky it can be to explain technical purchases - especially to those who hold the purse strings. That’s why the Salt Savings Calculator was designed not just for technical engineers or facilities teams, but also for financial controllers, procurement managers, and anyone else responsible for managing budgets.

Purpose-built with clarity in mind, the calculator makes it easy to compare your current salt spend with the potential savings of switching to Hydrosoft high-purity water softening salt.

Our tool considers key variables:

  • The purity of your current salt versus Hydrosoft’s industry-leading 99.9% purity

  • The number of bags used per month

  • The price you’re currently paying vs your Salt Silo quote

  • The regeneration efficiency based on purity differences

In short, it tells you not only how much you could save, but why you’re saving it.

You can try the tool now at:

📊 A New Industry Standard in Transparency & Ease

With just a few quick inputs, our calculator:

  • Adjusts usage based on salt purity differences

  • Calculates projected monthly savings

  • Highlights the operational impact of using cleaner, higher-grade salt

This is not a generic calculator - it's based on real-world data, industry documentation, and feedback from engineers and facilities managers across the UK.

By bridging the gap between technical detail and financial insight, we’re making it easier for organisations to justify better quality salt and to invest in longer-lasting water softener systems.

🌍 What’s Next: Hard Water Mapping & Smart De-Icing Algorithms

The launch of our Tools page is just the beginning. We're already hard at work building the next generation of smart, educational, and insight-driven tools, including:

đź—ş UK & Northern Ireland Water Map

We're currently mapping:

  • Hard water zones

  • Local water suppliers

  • Water quality issues by area

  • Regional recommendations for water treatments

This tool will help customers correlate their local water conditions with not only water softener solutions, but also with additional treatments that improve water quality, sustainability, and cost-efficiency.

❄️ Smart De-Icing Selection Tool (Coming Soon)

We’re developing an algorithmic quiz to help customers:

  • Identify the best de-icing solution for their site type, environment, and usage patterns

  • Navigate safety regulations, application rates, and storage needs

  • Make evidence-based product choices quickly and confidently

The research behind this tool is also informing our product expansion strategy - helping us spot gaps in the market and invest in innovation where it matters most.

đź§  Education + Innovation = A Better Experience

At Salt Silo, our mission is not just to sell products - it’s to educate, empower, and enhance the entire customer experience. These tools are a big part of that.

We believe that transparency, intelligence, and ease-of-use should be standard - not premium.

And we’re just getting started.
