Sodium bicarb in USP # 1 is also available for ~$1.44 KG @22.7Kg bags (I opted for Arm and Hammer instead because carry 3 50lb bags home in one shot would have been a killer). And while you're at it, ask if they carry any GFO chemicals such as Bayoxide E IN-20 (used in water treatment plants)...don't know if it's possible but why not ask and you can do away with the expensive Rowaphos.
So there you have it, CaCl, MgCl, NaCO3 all in one shop 
Good luck |
Talked to a sales person at Univar in Vancouver. They told me that they are not able to sell me any product. They are only allowed to sell to companies that have a business license to sell chemicals. They do carry Dowflake and Dead Sea works Magflake specifically. Gave me the name of a chemical company that sells Univar products supposedly in Vancouver and maybe other places as well. Company name is Anachemia. I would like to deal with Univar directly but don't know how I would go about it.
