Is it harmful to mix different kinds of salt in a water softener? It is generally not harmful to mix salts in a water softener, but there are types of softeners that are designed for specific water softening products. When using alternative products, these softeners will not function well. Mixing evaporated salt with rock salt is not recommended, as this could clog the softening reservoir. It is recommended that you allow your unit to go empty of one type of salt before adding another to avoid the occurrence of any problems.

If you are mixing "brands" of sodium chloride (water softener salt), then there is no problem but also no advantages. You would not want to mix potassium chloride with regular salt, however.
