I'm in Texas and I get it at H-E-B. There is an H-E-B in Galveston. I've never found it at Walmart.

Try K-Mart. That's the only place I've been able to find it here in Ft Myers, FL.

Not sure why you'd want to buy that particular one. Why don't you look for a box of "20 mule team BORAX"? Should be extremely cheap and available in most of the country. I do believe I've even seen it down around Houston. It's on the laundry isle.

I've found powdered Calgon in the Health & Beauty section of Wal Mart. Is this the kind you're looking for?


This is not the same. The stuff in health and beauty is for people to bath in for soft skin. It will leave an oil residue in the tanks. The stuff in laundry is the water softener that you want to put in the tank.

Thanks for the clarification! I was going to buy the wrong stuff!

As you can see that most people in Texas have a problems finding the stuff as did I in the Dallas area. Looked all over with out any luck. If the water in whatever area your in is considered "soft" the stores wont stock it.
