This increases the life of the softener and reduces rust staining on household fixtures and other surfaces. Use the softener rust remover regularly as preventative maintenance to ensure the softening and recharging efficiency of the softener's resin bed.Available in 4 oz, 1.5 lb, 5 lb & 50 lb sizes.
