    I have bought that brand before and it's fine. However I am not sure how that seller is going to cover the free P&P for something weighing 25kg for that price!

    I want to buy it at that price.

    But with a solid 8.2 PH 24/7 I can't think why I might need it.

    It makes a great plughole unblocker when mixed with vinegar, and you can deoderise your bins and trainers with it

    25 kg lasts me about 2yrs and there are loads of uses but i need it as i have no kh where i live so it is put in the pond weekly,and my mrs uses it to bathe here feet in.

    Has anyone ordered any,very suspicious as it is flying out and the guy doesnt seem to be doing anything about postage.

    He could be using a postage service that is a set fixed price up to a certain volume of parcels, and if you don't achieve that volume you get charged more .... Selling individual sacks could be his way of achieving the volume he needs.

    I would have ordered some if I didnt akready have a new 25kg sack in stock.
    my pond is consuming it at an alarming rate at the moment because I am feeding heavily. I reckon its using 2-3 mug fulls a day to keep the KH at around 1DH

    It does look like a possible ebay account hijack- almost all of the positive feedback is over a year old and as a buyer not seller. At least you should be covered for a refund from Paypal if it doesnt arrive.

    You use a lot lara i only add weekly not daily

    Looks like it is a scam as all the feedback is negative and they are complaining of not receiving,sorry guys if i put you onto a bad steer but you will get your monies back with ebay.
    Dont know why they havnt cottoned on yet,should i report it to ebay?
