If your system can use potassium, then use it, NOTE, it is more expensive then salt.

Thanks VT. I appreciate your recommendations.

About 4 years ago (before TV) one of my docs advised me to stop using sodium because of health risks. My next door neighbor, a cardiologist, agreed. Apparently it is very easy to add too much to the water.
