We got 3 boxes (all they had) at Albertsons grocery. Tried walmart, kmart, walgreens, target and could not find it. Albertsons didn't know if they would get more or not. Next time we may need to order more online.

I get the liquid at Wally World, prefer it to the powder as it mixes easier.


Agree... liquid is much easier to use...

I think you have to be in an area with hard water to find the powder stuff. It's not in my town at all but we get it once in a while in small town groceries. I switched from the geo system to a normal bio enzyme type. Formaldehyde supposedly is illegal in Calif now.

I bought liquid Calgon at my Super Wal-Mart, but it wasn't easy to find. I found it close to the fabric softeners. It's a white, plastic container with a blue label that has a rainbow on it. It looks like this.

The liquid is better! You don't want to use the powdered unless you dissolve it with hot water or you will have a big problem. It will settle to the bottom of your tank and harden.

We get ours at K-mart. Never had any problems with the powdered version. It just dissolves in the black tank cause there is always a lot of liquid in there anyway.
