Just decided to pull the trigger and get Leslie's Hardness Plus, it's 94-97% Calcium Chloride, about as pure as you're going to get, (Dowflake is only 77-80% calcium chloride btw). There are lots of local stores, http://leslies.know-where.com/leslies/ and best of all it's cheap! Well ok, not as cheap as Dowflake is per 50# bag, but then again if you can get that locally... good luck! A 15# bucket of the stuff ended up costing me $30, they sell 45# buckets for twice that. Now you might say "well buckeyefield..." has it for $12 ... read the fine print, that's 16 cups worth, that's only about 7 pounds worth.. but don't forget the shipping charges.. figure it'll be at least $20 when you're said and done, not to mention the hardness plus is ~20% Calcium Chloride per pound!
Anyways, just a heads up in case you're like me and needing a quick calcium fix without wanting to spend $15 on a small bottle of Kent's Liquid Calcium or something.
