Running Dry: Why Reducing Water Waste Can’t Wait

A stark warning has hit the headlines: parts of the UK could run out of water by 2050. According to recent reports, the combination of population growth, climate change, and decades of underinvestment in new reservoirs could lead to a national water crisis.

While this might sound like a distant problem, the solution starts now - especially for commercial businesses with high water demands. Whether you're running a hotel, a healthcare facility, a factory or a food business, water softening plays a key role in system efficiency and water usage.

And here’s where we come in.

Why High-Purity Salt Makes a Big Difference

At Salt Silo, we advocate the use of only the highest-purity softener salt - like Hydrosoft, made here in the UK. Why? Because lower-grade salts leave residue, cause build-up, and force systems to work harder, rinsing more often and using far more water than necessary.

✅ Hydrosoft dissolves fully - no impurities, no sludge
✅ Fewer rinses - means less water waste
✅ More efficient softening - reduces long-term consumption and maintenance
✅ Helps extend the life of your systems

Water softeners are designed to save, not waste. But only when they’re powered by the right salt.

We Don’t Deviate from Purity

We're proud to be laser-focused on sustainability through purity. While some suppliers mix products to meet price points, we don’t compromise. Our mission is to supply pure, British-made salt that delivers measurable efficiency gains.

We also offer options to help you understand and reduce the environmental impact of your salt delivery:

• Carbon footprint breakdowns available on every order

• Self-offset options available

• Or offset through our supported programmes, including tree planting and UK peatland restoration - one of Earth’s most effective carbon sinks

Do Your Bit Without Cutting Corners

The truth is simple: the more efficient your water system, the more water you save - and the less pressure you put on our already fragile infrastructure.

If your business values sustainability, efficiency, and making responsible choices, let’s talk. Salt Silo is ready to help you soften smarter, waste less, and be part of the solution.0
