Potassium Chloride Pellets are 99% sodium-free, therefore reducing sodium levels in your softened water and reducing chlorides discharged into the environment. This product also provides the essential plant nutrient potassium to the ecosystem. Pour Morton® Potassium Chloride Pellets into your water softener tank just like sodium chloride pellets. Use the same amount of pellets and the same settings. (Only softeners at the 4-pound or less setting require a slight adjustment. Simply increase the setting by 12%, i.e. at 4 pounds increase to 4.5 pounds). Morton® Potassium Chloride Pellets come in a convenient 40-lb. bag that’s easy to carry and open.
