Title: Water softener tablet salt
Post by: Entwood on 06 December 2009, 00:25:07

Just had a water softener fitted and wondering if anyone knows the "best" way to buy the tablet salt it needs ??? I don't have room to store mega bags of the stuff ... 2-3 max

google is finding loads of places that will sell me a pallet load  ... but methinks 30 bags is a tad much !!!  :)

If your limit is 2 - 3 bags, then you are paying punter price and then some on top.

I get mine off ebay:

That amount lasts me 3-4 months

I've bought bags of salt via the internet and have also shared with neighbours to reduce the delivery charge.  last lot was about £6.50/25Kg bag in the summer I think.
