Is this for the alk par of your two part solution? How about making your own with baked baking soda? I just made a batch last week.

baking soda from your local food store, or can get soda ash from pool stores, but baking soda is food grade, and will have less impurities

Place you baking soda in a layer on a baking sheet, bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour to drive off Co2 and moisture and you are ready to go. Works like a charm. Basically you are left with "carbonate" and not bicarbonate.
