Calcium chloride question

[power boat jim]

Is there any difference in the calcium chloride used to melt ice that costs waaaayyyy less then the calcium chloride sold as turbo calcium?

Impurities are the concern, but there are quite a few people using Heat and similar products without any apparent problems. For what the stuff costs from BRS, I'd rather pay the extra money for something that was intended to go in an aquarium.

Yes and no...depends on which one.
