It is safe...so far. People have been using it about 2-3 years since DOW stopped the process of removing bromide from their calcium chloride. The only difference between the new DowFlake Xtra and the old DowFlake is the amount of bromide, which doesn't seem to be an issue. The purity is the same.
These are 2 different materials. DowFlake is calcium chloride and when dosed only adds calcium to the system and Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime is calcium hydroxide and when dripped into the system adds both calcium and alkalinity....we don't get the Wages stuff here but Im sure what the LFS carries is repacked from them
