    Um .. Actually, that was a typo.  It's sodium bisulphAte, not
    ite.  The stuff is available here as a product called Sparex. 
    but you can also find it as an acidifier used to lower the ph in
    swimming pools.   In that guise, it's often a lot cheaper.  At
    least here, anyway. Germany, I don't know about....
