[APD] Potassium Chloride Water softeners
Hi All,
Years ago I learned the hard way that water softened with sodium chloride
kills fish.
I then switched back to straight well water for the tanks (fish only).
Now that I've setup a planted tank, and started testing, I was surprised at
how hard my water really is.
My GH is 720 mg/L, KH is 400 mg/L, PH 7.4
The water has a very high lime(limestone)content
We changed over to potassium chloride 3-4 years ago for the softener.
Is anyone using potassium chloride softened water in their tanks?
I know the potassium will be fine for the plants, but I'm unsure about the
chloride.
Thanks
Ernest
