How much is every living organism worth to you? And I don't just mean $$.
Why risk it all for a savings of peanuts??

The reason we bought in bulk was because we use a salt that is highly deficient in potassium and since we use so much salt in our store, the amount of 1L bottles of Fauna Marin K (potassium) we were using was ridiculous.

We also don't know the purity of the stuff we buy from these bottles so its best to source it yourself and know EXACTLY what you are getting.

Agreed. But there's a lot of dyi so why not ask. A lot of supplements are jacked up how many dollars just for a fancy label on a bottle

How about potassium chloride from water softener (home use)?

From what I remember, they can still call it pharm grade if its 90% pure.

From what I read the remaing 10% is salts

Is that a yes or no? Bought it from Culligan water.

Shouldn't be an issue just double check the salt it could be high in some stuff and low in others but then again the dosage would be low enough not to have An adverse effect anyway it also says nothing about aquarium use but then again we in the hobby have a habit of using stuff not designed for aquarium use

Ive been using pottasium salt from a bag of water softer (says its pure and "healthy to drink") without problems. It is food grade at least, the bag states "pure pottasium Chloride". Bought it at Lowes
