    Yes, when I read you post from last year and looked into it I
    figured that when you can go to your pool supply store or Walmart and
    buy huge tubs of what is essentially the same chemical or in some
    cases a chemical that will convert to sodium bisulphate on contact
    with air, then it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to pay more
    money for what you have pointed out is an inconsistent and poor
    product from a company with very poor customer relations. The chap
    you spoke to certainly did the company no favours and it sounds as
    though he didn't know what he was talking about in any case. And why
    put clay or soap into the product? That annoys me, they bulk it out
    to get greater volume so they can charge you more for a small amount
    of the active ingredient. If sodium bisulphite or sodium bisulphate
    is what you want then that's what you want to pay for. 

    I do get a bit wrapped in the whole chemistry thing sometimes as
    that is my background but I was merely trying to point out something
    that you yourself had clearly pointed out in the past. I will be
    looking to see if I can get pH down here in the UK and if it will be
    more economical than the aluminium sulphate that I am using. I am
    sure it will be.
