Based on 4kg per person per month, if you purchase salt (based on block salt) from Kinetico, this will cost you approximately £11.60 per month for a family of 4. All Kinetico softeners are non-electric so you’ll be pleased to know the running of them won’t add to your electric bill either.

There is a slightly increased amount of sodium in softened water. But to put this into perspective there is more sodium in a glass of milk than in a glass of softened water. The only times we advise against drinking softened water is when making up formula for small babies or if you are on a prescribed low sodium diet. In this case you should consult your doctor, otherwise it’s down to personal choice.
