Are there any cheap sources of bulk zeolite? - Aquarium Advice

Does anyone know of any cheap sources of bulk zeolite? It seems like there should be somewhere out there that sells it for less than the online fish stores.

Zeolite is used in things like cat litter and other deodorizers as well as some health food supplements.

All that zeolite has to come from somewhere.

what are you using it for? the only place ive seen it is in a pool store... it was pretty expensive too. it was like 20$ for a 10 pound bag.

$20 for a 10 pound bag sounds good compared to $7 to $10 for around 2 lbs at the pet store.

I don't really. I was just curious to see what other ways to save money there are.
