I wasn't sure if there was a difference with this water softener salt and the less expensive salt. But after using both for a year, I can tell that this salt softens the water but not as intensely as the less expensive salt. When using the less expensive salt, my dishwasher and washing machine bubble too much. Also, my hair is flat with the less expensive salt.

2 of 5 BAGS: Ripped Open
I don't mind accepting less than perfect or damaged bags, I mean it is KCI after all. However, because we have to move them from the drop off point to the storage area, the bags that were ripped open left a trail of materials that slipped out of the tears in the bags. A pain in the neck to clean that up. LET US KNOW if we will be receiving damaging product so that we can best plan for that. We assumed the bags were intact !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a bit pricy but worth it
Potassium chloride works well in water softeners, and my wife and I prefer the taste of our water over what it would be if we were using the less expensive sodium chloride. Also, sodium chloride is reputedly corrosive to septic tanks, while potassium chloride is less so. Lowes has been a reliable source of potassium chloride for water softeners, and their brand is clean -- no visible contamination in any of the bags we have purchased.

Delivered damaged product
Packaging had a hole in it, appeared minor but 20% unusable- large, hard clumps

It softens without taste of salt!
It provides the softness of salt without the taste and residue of salt. When the softener regenerates the discharged water is safe to use on a garden. The two handle bag makes it easier for two seniors to get the bags out of the car.

Better for you and the environment.
It works in softeners the same way sodium chloride does but replaces the hard water minerals with potassium instead of sodium. Potassium chloride is an essential nutrient for human health and plays an important role in the functioning of organs, nerves and muscles. It can be found in a wide variety of foods such as dairy products, meat, fruits and vegetables. In addition, potassium chloride is important to the healthy growth of plant life. Because extracting potassium chloride from the earth is ...
