Local sources for DIY two-part?

[Blazer88]

Does anyone know if a place around here carries Dow flakes or another calcium chloride product? I looking to use Randy's DIY recipe to make two-part solution for calcium/alkalinity. Thanks.

I have never found Dow Flake locally, but I do use Driveway heat which works quite well to bump SW . Can you use that?

I believe Prestone Driveway heat works well enough but is more concentrated (less water content) that Dow Flakes. Where did you find the driveway heat at? I went to Lowes, Home Depot, and Fred Meyer with no luck. I figured I would just order up the materials from twopartsolution.com since their prices are pretty cheap if I couldn't find anything locally.

I found some Driveway Heat at my local NAPA auto parts

Driveway Heat is sold seasonally and usually can be found at Wally World at very good prices. 2-Part Solution does have great pricing as well. Seems a shame to spend the money on shipping though.

Doesn't really matter about the water content. Just use this calculator, and substitute Driveway Heat for Kent Turbo Calcium.
