Anybody care to elaborate on the effects of K2O in water. I was under
the impression that sulphate of potash was as good as K2SO4. Apparently
not?


Sulphate of Potash is indeed K2SO4.

I am currently using K2O so natuarally I need some reassurance.


K2O is an oxide that is used for "measurement conventions". In this
way, various sources of potassium KCl, K2SO4, etc, can be compared.
You do not have K2O.
