Potassium chloride I believe is use in place of Sodium Chloride in some water softener situations. So you should be able to find it a any large chain store that carries water softener supplies. Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, KMart, etc. Joan Pomatto wrote: Where do I buy muriate of potash? Does it have another name, or what do I ask for? Thanks ALSO----how much do I use when I find it? |

Water softener companies carry it. $15 for 40# bag, pure white 'rocks', food
safe. Why do water softener companies have it....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 Jerri http://www.fringeweb.com/Ponds/JerrisPond |

And besides that..... the Muriate of Potash I bought at Agway (5 lb. box) is
not "white rocks", but more like a reddish brown. Are you sure we're talking about the same stuff? Sue "John Rutz" wrote in message ...

Muriate of Potash
It comes in colors ranging from white to reddish brown, per my
understanding. The only stuff I could find in my neck of the woods (north of San Diego) was called Sul Po Mag 0-0-20, and the small pellets are reddish brown. The magnesium and sulfur make 31% of the mixture and are supposed to aid in greening things up. So far no problems. One question for regular users: Do you try to crush it up to dissolve faster, or just toss it in as pellets/rocks?

I dissolve it in a bucket of pond water, stir it well and pour back in
the pond at the skimmer. deanna On 6/2/03 11:19 PM, Fred wrote: It comes in colors ranging from white to reddish brown, per my understanding.

Fred the water softer potash I have been using comes in about 1 in pellets I just toss em in ( figure one pellet is roughly an ounce) they disolve in 15 min or so John Rutz Z5 New Mexico good judgement comes from bad experience, and that comes from bad judgement see my pond at: http://www.fuerjefe.com |

Sacha -- I; grew up around potash mines and refinerys the redish brown color is one of its natural colors white is another so it realy depends on which mines it came from and if it has been refined or not highly refined potash is white John Rutz Z5 New Mexico good judgement comes from bad experience, and that comes from bad judgement see my pond at: http://www.fuerjefe.com |

I used to work for an engineering company in Saskatchewan that did a lot of work for potash mines, so I've spent a fair amount of time underground (my SO thinks maybe they should have kept me there.) Anyway, it depends how processed the potash is; red is fine, white is just more processed. The mines were way cool. Not like you would imagine a coal mine for example. You could drive along in electric cars.

It keeps your floaters from turning brown. It adds things the plants
need that they can't get in our man made ponds. http://community.webtv.net/rebeljoe/POND |

I got mine at a local garden store that also does landscaping work. Had to ask
for it as they had it in the back room. It was $2.49 for a 5# bag. Donna |

Honestly I don't remember as I only used it twice last year. As I recall it
was very tiny, like a few teaspoons in my 3000 gallon pond. I remember thinking that the bag I had was going to last for a lifetime. Maybe someone else in the group could post the dose. Donna |

Donna What are all of the common names for it? Muriate of Potash I don't about common, but chemically it is potassium cloride, KCl. As compared to common table salt, sodium cloride, NaCl. |
