Re: Best source of Calcium?
You can get calcium chloride for a lower price than the pool store by buying either Peladow or Dowflake that are both used as ice salt for melting ice during the winter. You should be able to get it at big box stores (Walmart, Home Depot, etc.), but it might be seasonal.

Re: Best source of Calcium?
I was thinking the ice melt route. Home depot here has some Ice melt left over, however the ingredients state it has magnesium chloride in it as well. Should I stay away from that brand?

Re: Best source of Calcium?
That is my question as well. Amazon has some that are in the $50 range for 50# but are pellets. I think that is free shipping. My calcium is 130 ppm so need a bunch. Would love to hear back. Thanks!
