Pottasium Chloride in your Water Softener
You have probably seen my blogs about using Potassium Chloride in your Water Softener before. If you did you would know that this is the toughest time of year for Potassium users. For more information on Water Softeners please visit our website at www.secondwindwater.com.com .
As we reach the peak Summer weather in New Hampshire the humidity levels are usually on the rise right along with the temperatures. This Humidity causes the Potassium to stick together in clumps. This will lead to mushing, bridging and poor saturation of the Brine Solution that should be cleaning your Water Softener. If you are using Potassium as a regenerant I strongly recommend that you do not put more Potassium into the Brine tank than what you will use in one month. Sodium Chloride is much less prone to mushing and bridging than Potassium and if I had to choose for my own personal use I would prefer Sodium. Of course I would put in a good RO drinking water System to remove Sodium and other contaminants as well.
If you have a Potassium regenerating Softener just pay a little more attention to it in the Summer. Kick your brine tank more often than normal, and don’t over fill it. This will help you to insure good water quality all year round.
