What is KCI?
KCl (Potassium Chloride) is a type of salt that can be used in our water softening systems as an alternative for regular (NaCl) sodium salt. It's most commonly used in households that need to watch their sodium intake. If you're concerned about sodium levels, keep in mind that using regular NaCI salt does add a small amount of sodium to your softened water.
