Tracy & Lisa,

    Just to chime in. Calgon is basically sodium hexametaphospahate.
    Used in soaps, detergents and food. It is available widely from
    larger chemical suppliers. I last purchased 50# for around $85.00.
    Adding sodium carbonate will increase the ph and soften the water you
    are using, improving your cleaning action. I don't know anything
    about ionic cleaning but it should work in ultrasonic and it will
    improve your laundry especially in hard water areas.
