DIY 2-part


This topic hasn't been covered in a while, but I was wondering if anybody in Jax is still making their own 2-part additives?

If so, do you buy your Dowflake and Magflake (or substitutes) locally or on-line? If locally, where can they be bought. Do most people use epsom salts for Magnesium?

TIA

I guess everybody uses calcium reactors, or buys 2-part.

I'm still using diy 2-part.
My demand is so low right now that I haven't had to buy any ingredients for a while but when I did I got the Dowflake online.
The Magflake was also purchased online, but not by me.
I've seen Dowflake at Pinch-a-Penny Pools but it was priced higher than I bought it for online including shipping.
I do also use Epsom as per Randy's recipe.

Thanks! This is what I needed to know, so I don't waste my time looking in town. I've seen on one of the sponsor pages at RC that you can buy bags of each pre-measured, so that's probably what I will do.
