uk brands of potassium chloride dishwasher salt


Hi and merry christmas

Anyone in the UK no of any brands of water softner salt that is potassium chloride? I have looked and looked and the ones I can find info on have sodium chloride in.
NO supermarkets near me have any that say potassium chloride, a couple dont say whats in them but dont say sodium free as well.
So any UK brands I can get online?

Thanks everyone




Dont ask me, I only know enough to be dangerous

Check at a home improvement store. Do you have Sifto brand salt over there? I bought 25kg of potassium chloride at Home Depot in the form of large pellets

Hi
No we dont have a home improvement store for around 60-70 miles, hence the need to buy it online. P&P costs a fortune but its no cheaper going to pick it up.
I have looked on ebay and amazon but cant find it, I can find it as a chemical no problem but then your paying top prices for 200g.

Is there some kind of mental EU ban on potassium chloride or something?:

Possibly, in my search I saw a paper reporting the results of elevated potassium levels due to softeners.

Yeah there i certainly strange that in quantity its hard to get hold of.
I might go upto Glasgow in the new year and look around some the bigger shops there.
