That would take FOREVER, your can do a lot more in the bucket then you can in a pillow case..

Maybe in the pool section, I kind of doubt it though, but I don't know for sure, hope they do!

I don't know what part of Iowa you're in, but there's a Leslies in Des Moines... Leslie's Swimming Pool Supplies, the world leader in residential and commercial pool supplies. Leslie's Swimming Pool Supplies Stores in Iowa

That's where I've gotten a lot of mine. I've never had to rinse it either. I have a few times, but it's never been a *need*. It's $9 a bag at Leslies.

[maxwellag]
