How to change softener salt type
Can someone advise me if I can just change from Potassium Chloride salts to Sodium Chloride salt at any time, or do I have to empty the salt tank and then switch to NaCL salts.
I'm having no issues with KCl salts, but would like to switch to the cheaper sodium, and maybe use the ones to remove iron.
My salt tank is about 1/4 full right now.
Thanks.

Always a good idea to keep only enough salt (of any kind) in the brine tank to cover the water and check it once a week.
You can read up on NaCl and KCl here... http://softeningsalt.com/ from North American Salt. IIRC they are the largest softener salt producer in the western hemisphere.
