Help your Washing Machine Live Longer with Calgon! Review: Must have for extremely hard well water - I have very hard well water and it is difficult to get my laundry clean. Works super well and is has a pleasant scent which is not overpowering. I put it in the dispenser with my liquid laundry detergent and it disolves completely every time and does not clog the tray. I use less detergent now that I have Calgon so it is economical for the value of the product. Review: Great for cloth diapering/ sensitive skin - I initially bought this to help with washing my baby’s cloth diapers, and I noticed a huge difference right away in how clean and soft they came out, after seeing the results, I started using it with all of our laundry. We have very hard water, and this has been a great solution since we don’t have a water softener. Clothes come out feeling cleaner, softer, and with less soap residue. I’ve also noticed it’s much gentler on skin, which is important for both my baby and me. This pack lasts us a few months on average, so I’d say it’s worth the price. Overall it made my laundry routine much better. ## Features - Unbeatable 3in1 protection against limescale, residue and eliminates bad odours - Helps prolong the life of your washing machine - Cleaner laundry in every wash and safe for use on all types of fabrics - Minimises energy consumption by keeping washing machine heating elements clean - UK’s #1 water softener brand - Contains the express ball with high concentration of anti-limescale - Provides total protection for your washing machine from limescale build up - Helps to keep machine clean when used in every wash - Contains 15%-30% Polycarboxylates - Consists of 45 tablets in a pack ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B013XCN9X6 | | ASIN | B013XCN9X6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,149 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #119 in Laundry Detergent Pacs & Tablets | | Brand Name | Calgon | | Contains Liquid Contents? | Yes | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (21,704) | | Date First Available | November 12, 2015 | | Item Form | Tablet | | Item model number | 0085827 | | Manufacturer | Reckitt Benckiser | | Manufacturer | Reckitt Benckiser | | Material Features | Concentrated | | Material Type Free | Allergen Free | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 7.56 x 5.91 x 2.99 inches; 1.46 Pounds | | Scent | Unscented | | Special Features | Prevents Limescale, Removes limescale | | Specific Uses For Product | Washing Machine | | Surface Recommendation | Fabric | | Unit Count | 45.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Calgon - **Item Form:** Tablet - **Material Feature:** Concentrated - **Scent:** Unscented - **Specific Uses For Product:** Washing Machine ## Images ![Tablets 3-In-1 Water Softener, 45 Tablets - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IGqLgVXYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: maybe dumbquestion, but can this also be used same as the calgon water softerner for laundry?** A: Yes I use it for my laundry and find it works well and I see my whites are whiter . Great product **Q: Is this HE washer friendly?** A: Yes, I use it in a HE washer. **Q: Can you use calgon 3 in 1 in your laundry?** A: Yes you can use it in laundry. I have hard water and have always added Calgon in each laundry. I like the simplicity of just opening up the package and dropping the calgon in. **Q: Can the tabs just be put in the washer before clothes?** A: Yes, open the packet & put the 'brick' into the washer along with the water then add clothes. If you have newer front loader washer, I guess put in first then add clothes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for extremely hard well water *by R***. on November 17, 2025* I have very hard well water and it is difficult to get my laundry clean.

It stains everything over time and even when we got a new washer and I became aware of how bad a job my old washer was doing, I knew I needed a water softener to help get the clothes clean and to protect my new fancy washer. I used the liquid a few times but it is very messy, often leaked during shipping and a bottle didn’t last very long. Honestly, I only tried the tablets because the liquid was out of stock when I needed it. The tablets are a game changer! No mess, more product (you aren’t paying for water) and are very convenient to use! My washer works better and my laundry is cleaner and softer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Calgon Tablets 3-In-1 Water Softener, 45 Tablets - Calgon Liquid Water Softener, 32 Oz (Pack of 2) - ARM & HAMMER Super Washing Soda Household Cleaner and Laundry Booster, Versatile Natural Home Cleaner, Powder Laundry Additive and Cleaner, 55 oz Box --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/298501690-tablets-3-in-1-water-softener-45-tablets](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/298501690-tablets-3-in-1-water-softener-45-tablets) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
