    Calcium chloride is also sold as "de-icer" in products such as Peladow, Dowflake and Tetra often found in hardware stores. Of course, leaving in an area that may not freeze makes it less likely to find such products.

    I found a source! The local pool store sells 15lbs for $25. I found a cement and landscaping shop in Fresno, just down the highway from me, that sold me a 50lb bag for $30. And he claims its between 94-97% Calcium chloride. I'm excited! Now I just have to figure out how much to add!

    Use The Pool Calculator where in the CH section use "calcium chloride" not "calcium chloride dihydrate".
