Craft Store Rant: They SUCK!

Look for the soda ash at a pool supply store. HD or Lowes might even have it in their pool section. Look for something called PH UP, but check the ingredients to make sure that it is sodium carbonate. It is used to raise the PH in pool water. If you lived closer than all the way across the country, I might even have some in the basement that I could give you.
