I've been using Absolute Zero Melt Down de-icing salt for almost a full year now. http://envirotech.squarespace.com/me...absolute-zero/ You may be able to contact them to see if they have a distributer in your area.

calcium
so Univar sells to the public? do i just call them and order or they have a retail location?
i just found the dowflake at home hardware, they just ordered a bag for me for 24 bucks, i just need to go and see if that is in fact the one being mention by Randy. Once I get everything, it will be time to try, there will be a lot of questions then!!!!

quick question
Suppose I didn't want to make so much at once of Randy H-F's stuff, could i take his recipe and change it by using half of everything listed? that should give me the same properties right?

hahaha yeah i google it already, seems like the light is turning green very soon, a lot of ppl seem to be doing it and nothing bad so far, and even Randy said it might be ok now. I would love to get some Magflake from you, but your not in Calgary.

Wallmart
I get mine from wallmart
 If you go looking though enough of the ice melts you can usually find one that is just a bucket of mag-chloride and nothnig else (except probably a little contaminate) but I have been using it for about 1 year now without trouble. and 20lbs is about $6.I also hit the pool place for my dowflake. It's used to increase calcium hardness in pools. Somewhere about $4-$6 per lbs. I can always find calcium chloride in the driveway-melt. But they always add urea and other colorants
