Calgon & PEPWAVE in Canada??
I have searched high and low for Calgon water softener and Pepwave Mini Surf On-the-go, in Canada, and no luck. Anyone able to help a newbie out? Walmart doesn't appear to have the Calgon, and US sites like Amazon either wont ship to Canada, or charge another $40 to $142 for shipping alone!
Thanks

We buy are Calgon at Walmart in Canada and so far that is the only place we have found it. I hate to say this but I have no idea what Pepwave Mini Surf On-the-go is so I guess I can not help you there and now I am going to have to look it up lol...

I am able to buy Calgon, at No Frills. I know that Home Hardware does carry it, as it's available if you search their website.

I have found, and this is not the gospel, that if you live in a city or town that doesn't have hard water, then it's hard to find Calgon. I have found it at Walmart also. I carry the liquid and the powder, when I can find it. We are always on the look out for it when we shop at different places, like CT, Home Hardware, Zehrs, etc. We usually find it at a Walmart in northern Michigan where we go camping a lot.

I buy my Calgon at Home Harware stores. The store in my city keeps about two boxes on the shelf. I stopped at a Home Hardware in cottage country and they had 15 boxes on the shelf.

Thanks everyone. Maybe our water system explains why it is so hard to find here. Will try HH on line or outside The Peg.
Pepwave Surf On-The-Go is a wifi router that is supposed to be awesome at improving the wifi signals at campgrounds.

I was able to order the Calgon through HH just outside the city. Again, thanks to everyone's suggestions.

Try Home Hardware: They will order if not in stock. I presume you are looking for powder. We use it with the Geo Method-expensive but it works.

I never use any of this stuff, or any kind of chemical either.
No way that during a 3-4 period these "magic products" can dissolve anything !
Just plain old water...plenty of it when we camp, back flush when we dump, and 4-5 gallons of water in the tank after back flush is done and hit the road and let it slosh around.
When I get home, empty the tank again in a bucket and dump in toilet.
Never had an issue and the sensors always read good.

JoeNanMinn, If liquid I put a couple of capfuls in my tank. It's a 40 gal. one. If powder I use a measuring cup and put in a cupful. RV Digest-it works on solids very well.

WFD, which locations? I ordered through HH in Lorette and will pick up my next trip to Steinbach. City locales would help a lot. Thanks

Have seen it in Superstore on Regent as well as St Vital, same goes for Walmart, but last summer on a trip to Grand Forks I stocked up on liquid Calgon from Walmart.
