IMO, based on 20+ years in selling and servicing softeners etc., I
suggest using solar crystal sodium chloride and reducing sodium intake
by reading food and beverage labels. That includes well, bottled and
city waters, all contain some sodium naturally.

Gary, do you have a retail website?
What do you need to know to properly "size" a softener?
I am about ready to buy... replacing a leased culligan : /
Thanks
