Water softener tablet salt
« 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'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.
