The salt-free stuff I’m thinking of is small, like fertilizer pellets, maybe or the size of lentils.

I’ve used small gravel-like, deicer, but I’m pretty sure these were from a softener. About the size of two marbles together [link to sample photo]

Or is it just ineffective? Is there a cost difference (since one has to be food-safe)? Looks like most softeners use rock salt.
