Water softener tablet salt
06. Dec 2009 at 00:25  
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 !!!  Smiley

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

Many thanks  Mark ... £13 delivered is about the best I've seen for individual 25Kg bags .. Smiley

Did see £5.62 for 25Kgs .. if I bought 30 bags !!!!

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.
