After the event someone from your club should post some pictures and information in the DIY forum. Just a thought.

Thanks,
Chris

This looks like a great workshop. If it was here, I would definitely go. I just don't know if I could make it down to columbus that weekend.

feed through the top, effluent on the side at the top (clear hose) valve on the side is a drain. Maxijet is the mixing pump. The output (effluent line) must drain down, not up. Top is removable to add kalk power.

Does this include kalk? hah i cant seem to find it..

I might attend this, i havent been around due to band/shows/school but i should be able to make this

 

[greg10]

i couldn't find it locally, so used some place i found on shopping.yahoo.com. shipping isn't bad if you buy a few containers at once. i get balls or mrs. wages.

 

[szwab]

walmart carries it in the canning section.

 

[MadSkillzMan]

around here (cleveland) walmart? or just columbus?

 

[szwab]

I would assume walmart's carried pretty much the same. have seen it in Cbus not sure about cleveland.

 

[cowcio]

I have been 2 two walmarts in Cbus and 2 in Cleveland...

Selection is not the same

Cbus blows us away from what I've seen

lol saved me a trip

 

[greg10]

I bought my last batch through amazon from americanspice.com

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002L2ZTG/104-5673702-9383912?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=3370831

it was $3.89 for a 16oz container. Shipping starts at $4.95. For example, if I ordered 10, shipping would be $8.95.

IF you guys want I can get 16oz plastic jars of wages pickling lime for I belive $2.35 plus tax each.

I've found it at tops in the past, but on my last trip it was gone. I don't know how big the chain is but buehlers grocery store in Ashland, and Wooster has it. I'm not sure if they have other stores in the area.

EDIT: google turned up a list of locations for buehlers

* Medina Forest Meadows
* Medina River Styx
* Wadsworth
* Ashland
* Orrville
* Wooster Milltown
* Dover
* Delaware
* Coshocton

I was in the Ashland store about 2 weeks ago just looking for lime. They had a few dozen on the shelf. Some in the plastic jars, and some in bags. It's in the canning section.

 

[greg10]

the nearest one is 30 plus miles from my house.

if you could get some, that would be great.

 

[scottfarcuz]

Didnt mean to hijack the thread...

If anyone wants me to bring some to the meeting drop me a PM

 

[cowcio]

I will be in Wooster Sunday... (although I won't be have time to shop this week)

I will also be back there the next Sunday.

I would be willing to grab something at Buehlers. Some of the Buehler family goes to my church... great people and I would love to give them as much support as possible They are selling RO water for around 21 cents per gallon in Wooster, maybe even the other locations. When I just had the 45 gallon, I would always get it from there.
