What is this "bridging"?

I got a watersoftner installed today. The Installing company sells
"Dura-Cube" by Cargill for around $6.00 for 50lbs. Of course they set
me up
with my first 250 pounds. The salt is sort of in a chip form. The
Installer said rock salt and "solar-salt" are inferior and are less
pure, so
do not use them. Is this so? What brand of salt do you use? And the
cost?
And of course where to purchase?
Is the $6.00 for the "Dura-Cube" too much or about normal. I can
purchase
the salt on my own at the dealer when needed, but I am not paying them a
service call to bring it by.

I use Diamond Crystal (Cargill) "Hardi-Cube". It's also in a chiplike
form. The recent price was $4.70 per 50lbs at the local seed&feed store,
not delivered.

As I recall, I was told by a wholesale distributor that Hardi-Cube
tended to be less susceptible to "bridging" than the more easily-found
pellets.

I know that rock salt should not be used in a softener but I believe
that "solar-salt" is OK -- in fact, I think some recommend it, though it
is not as pure as some other kinds of salt.
