It could be but probably shouldn't be. It is strongly basic and will increase
alkalinity and pH, and add sodium, which you don't need. The
potassium salt is probably your best bet.

Try Home Depot. Ask for sodium-free water softener salt. That's potassium
chloride a.k.a. muriate of potash. You can get a lifetime supply for yourself
and all of your friends. Other good sources are KNO3 (potassium nitrate),u
sually sold as stump remover, and K2SO4 (potassium sulfate) which can
occasionally be found as a fertilizer.
