In order to eliminate high
In order to eliminate high level of sodium in house water used for drinking/cooking/ice-making, we have opted to utilize Potassium chloride in the brine tank rather than Sodium chloride. Works just fine. I am hoping, however, that the cost of a 40 lb. bag of Potassium chloride will decrease as popularity and/or supply of this product increases -- in our area (Central Texas), it is currently 5x the cost of a 40 lb. bag of Sodium chloride.
