shaywood Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I use Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime to Kalk my water. Anyone know if a local source for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-ed Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I don't a local source, but you can get it online at www.canningpantry.com for pretty darn cheap. I think I got two pounds there for under $10, including shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I buy it from their website at yahoo groups. I have 4 containers if you get near Vancouver stop by for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Locally, Joel @ Waves sells bulk kalk at good prices, and http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/ is cheap online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaywood Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 No luck at Woodburn Wal-Mart, but Waves came through. Joel knows his stuff and has fair pricing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csrdph Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 did anyone ever come up w/ a local source for pickling lime in Portland? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaywood Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 I ended up buying wasser from Joel at Waves. Good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Marine Depot. $18.00 for 4lbs. ESV=municpal water quality specs. The local Wally stocks only in canning season according to the emplyees I talked with last year. Just missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2R2 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The kalk that Joel has available at Waves should be the best quality available and at a fair "bulk" price. If you were to buy an animal or 2 at the same time, Joel might even see his way clear to offer you a "good-guy deal" on the kalk as a reward for your patronage. Often, it is easier for the lfs to make good deals on the second or third item of a purchase. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I agree, Joel's is the best place, the 5 gallon bucket of it I got was super cheap and should last me at least another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
