dan d is correct. BEI has food grade bicarb. with no aluminum. I posted otherwise so just wanted to make this correction. Apologies for posting bad info.

1V1, Longs in Pahoa has a huge stock right now, at .69 cents #. Big display right inside the front door, and more by baking goods.
We just got 10 # more, and will get more tomorrow (if there’s any left) after everyone else has a chance to get some.
Cancelled the Amazon order.

R U using it for protection against volcanic fumes? If so, how? Couldn't find info on how much to use if soaking a hand towel in it for an emergency mask.

Hi frankie
It is used to keep the ph ,acidity of our water catchment tanks balanced
Most newer homes have 10k gallons

The last couple of days we have noticed that our water flow has declined.
it has declined much more rapidly than normal.
I have replaced the filter and have good water flow back again.

I'm wondering if the addition of as much bicarb to the tank as I did may be causing flocculation or something similar that is clogging the filter.
I buy filters in boxes of 50.
We have plenty of filters.

Did u premix the baking soda in a bucket? Are u running a 10micron filter?

Oh, that’s a good idea Dan. I was wondering if dumping a dry box in was dispersing the baking soda. I will try pre mixing from now on. Mahalo.

CostULess had a lot of 5# bags of bicarb yesterday. My problem has been finding a pH test kit. Home Depot was out, and so was Ace Hardware in Keaau. Anybody know where I can get one?

Try a pet store. By the fish stuff.
