Newer softeners put such a small amount of brine into the septic tank compared

That's a good point. Do you have any idea how many gallons of brine your
typical modern softener puts out during a regeneration cycle?

By "typical modern" assume something Sears sells for household use...

Also, as far as any effects to the septic tank go, is KCL better/worse
than NaCL?
