Why do water softener companies have it


Its a better way to soften water. Gives you water high in potassium
instead of sodium so not dangerous to hearts or blood pressure.
It's also way more expensive than sodium chloride.

.....and why would you need that much. I
bought less than 5 pounds last year for less than $5 and I have over 15,000
gallons....I still had some left this year


So this would be an 8 year supply for you at 1/3 the price.

It's an option, that's all.
