Sodium chloride is common table salt and is used in many foods, more often than potassium chloride. Potassium chloride is often used as a substitute as many people consume too much sodium, but it doesn't taste as good.

Can potassium chloride be used in lieu of sodium chloride in salt water pool systems?

There is a system available now that uses a mixture of Magnesium chloride and potassium chloride instead of the old Potassium chloride we have been using it in our pool for about 5 months and the results are great Ive never seen the water as good without any problems whatsoever. I am not sure however if the electrodes need to be different in the chlorine generator to do what you are thinking of. The system I am talking about is called Magnablu. It is originally German but was handled handled by Poolrite in Australia. Poolrite Autralia however has gone to the wall and I don't know who took this part of their business over. Dragonfly.biz had dealings with them and may perhaps be able to help.
