It's not as bad as having no softener, but I wish I had gone with the sodium. We have brushed fixtures (stainless, chrome? Not sure), and I find I have to make sure to dry them off after every use.

I love the taste of the filtered water, however.

We have all bronze fixtures and there is no white buildup at all on them using the potassium for nearly 2 years, we use one bag every 7 or 8 weeks. Maybe there is an adjustment you can make to the unit, give them a call.
