Bulk buying oxy powder

[jceg316]

I love the stuff, cleans everything so well. I use the Wilcos £2 a pot and everything is spotless but I go through it quickly. I want to bulk buy but have realised that not all oxy powders are equal. Is there something I can buy in bulk which works well?

TIA

Sodium procarbonate.
Dearer but the bag I bought as last about 18 months and only half through it

I understand this is the active ingredient. Do I use less per litre than I would for oxy?

The malt miller sells it at a reasonable price

I use a level tablespoon in a 30ltr fv with everything soaking as a guide. I know some on here use a lot less but I am happy with that and it lasts ages...
Malt miller 1.5 kilo 10.50 ebay £19 2 kg
Hope that helps

The cheapest option would be to get together with a few mates and buy a 25kg bag for around £50 and split it.

Yes. I have a little scoop. Generally about 10ml for my 30l boiler.

Unfortunately I don't have any friends who homebrew seriously yet. I need more friends.

Great thanks for the advice. I think that's what I'll do.

I simply don't have any friends...

Yes eBay I bought from, although I don't remember it being that expensive. Thought it was around £13 for 2 kg. I remember the first lot I bought my wife thought it was cheap oxi clean and used it all up soaking and washing all the quilts. She had to wash them about 5 times with plain water because the amount of SP she had used

The original seller I used doesn't list any more...it was a lot cheaper..

Same here, I bought 5kg for £20 a few months ago but the seller (bio aquatek) seems to have gone out of business..

Edit https://mistralni.co.uk/products/sodium-percarbonate-ultra-pure looks like a reasonable alternative

Thanks for all your help on this!

SteveH...yes that the ones...good find in the other...free delivery too.

I got 25kg from eBay (ryeoil) £48 delivered. Rebagged into 1kg ziplocks. The wife uses it in the washing machine too

 

[Clint]

I hope you charge her for it.

Not a chance - I like my "bits" exactly where nature intended them

Is this the same active ingredient as pbw?

How do you guys use it?
