Water softener company. 40lbs pure KCl $15.

Cool. I look this weekend. It seems the water softener aisles at the Depot,
have only salt. Although...I wonder if I just inserted my foot in my mouth.
Isn't KCl a salt?

Yep, so is aspirin. (sodium salts of asaticylic(sp) acid) If you ever
go to Canada, where Bayer still holds the trademark on aspirin, you buy
generic ASA tablets.

KCl is used in water softeners instead of NaCl for people that have
sodium sensitivity.

So is powder cocaine. G

I forget the exact chemical definition for "salt" but it is a family of
chemicals, I think that dissolve in water. At least that is the reason
for making most medicines "salts", so that they will dissolve in the
body.
