Potassium Chloride Alternative

Potassium Chloride Salt may be used in your water softener in place of Sodium Chloride Salt. When used to remove the calcium and magnesium that makes water hard, it replaces them with potassium.

The human body cannot produce or store potassium; it must continually come from your diet. Potassium has been found to be a healthful nutrient for people and plants. Potassium chloride is a naturally occurring mineral that is an excellent source of the plant nutrient potassium. When the water containing potassium enters the soil, it helps fertilize your lawn and plants.
