<font face="Corbel">Health Canada has some cautions about both, but
mostly for folks with specific health issues. This is the one on
potassium: </font><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/water-eau/potassium/index-eng.php">http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/water-eau/potassium/index-eng.php</a>
But there are others on sodium. <br>
<br>
On a personal note, I had a Kinetco potassium softener and loved
it. I don't have any of the health issues Health Canada identified,
and found the minor amount of potassium I took in (I didn't bypass
the kitchen cold tap) actually reduced my age-related leg cramps! <br>
<br>
Have bought a home closer to TO and will use potassium in the
(current) sodium softener there. Manufacturer says no conversion is
needed, just dump in the potassium. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps!<br>

<pre wrap="">Has anyone ever heard of water softeners using potassium chloride or sodium chloride having negative health effects?
I have an application where I installed one on a well and everyone but one person thinks it’s great. I’ll explain the details in the next post but I wanted to start with a broad-stroke question to see what kind of replies the question would generate.
