Us boiler guy's like to keep the water inside nice and toasty. But my boiler is fed before the water softner and the bacteria light, the coal will do the restCyber36 wrote:Salt? I thought this was a coal forum??
Why do you want to store so much salt ? I buy 5-8 bags 40lb at $5 at lowes twice a year.ValterBorges wrote:Anyone know where to buy water softner salt by the pallet or bulk in ct.?

Because last year I found it at 3$ at Bjs.
I have the space and I'll save 120, 300 adjusted for 5 years of inflation. That's another ton of coal.

Sound's practicle too me if you have the room. That still sounds like alot of salt. I know a man that's aunt died 15-20 years ago and he has not had to buy any ivory soap ever sinceValterBorges wrote:Because last year I found it at 3$ at Bjs.

using a metered head on your water softner will save water and salt, as it only regenerates according to gallons of water used. pays for itself very fast, I use about 6, 40lb. bags a year.

Found out home depot has a discount if you buy 9 pallets. Should come out to 4$ a bag vs 5-6 otherwise. anyone in ct interested in a pallet or two let me know.
