water softener salt

[someonelse]

Just installing a water softener - west London, hard water area.

What's the best (OK cheapest) place to get tablet salt?

Google throws up suppliers charging £15 per kg (but I'm just outside their delivery area) to £25 + £15 for delivery!

Suggestions?

Thanks.
Wicks is expensive at £28 incl delivery.
Screwfix only do 10 KG bags - 25kg works out around £25. £30 incl delivery.

Anyone use anywhere on a par with london Water Company (£14.50 incl) Sadly they deliver to the neighbouring postcode but not mine!

Google? A quick look see found me a company called Bag of Salt who will deliver their own brand sacks nationwide. 10 x 25kg for £155 inc delivery. They do one bag but it gets expensive; and other brands of salt.

No idea if they are reputable. I get my block salt, in bulk, from my softener installer when I need it.

EDIT Have you asked the London Co if they will deliver to you for a small surcharge?

Most large 'proper' builders merchants (not the sheds) sell tablet salt.
I've just ordered 10 25kg bags for less than £10 a bag
