Hydorgen Peroxide/Sea Salt in Water Conditioner/Softeners?

by Teri
(West Michigan)

I'm a health-conscious renter with a Culligan Super S H20 conditioner, and I'm wondering about using food-grade hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach to clean the system.

Currently I put an intake hose from the Super S, into a gallon of bleach, and as needed it uptakes bleach to clean the system. I'd rather use hydrogen peroxide, as I am aware that bleach even in ppm can have significant health effects over time.

Can someone address the pros/cons of this, and what to be aware of/look for in using hydrogen peroxide in this way?

On a similar note, I also have a Culligan water softener, and I'm interested to use food grade sea salt, such as "Ultimate Superfoods Himalayan Crystal Salt" here:

http://www.ultimatesuperfoods.com/ItemDetail.aspx?comcode=FD&plinid=SLTHIM&item=SLTHFG22L&type=pl&plnmain=SALT on account of the mineral benefits. Again, can someone discuss the pros/cons of using this type of salt in a water softener?

Teri, you may use either Bleach or Hydrogen Peroxide to clean your water treatment system. The food grade salt is sodium chloride like any other salt, just cleaner. Either itype or brand is sufficient. Thanks.
