Deicer that wont damage

[Aqua Pro 22]

Seasons Greetings everyone..been a while since I posted. Hope all is well with Everyone!

Some time ago I remember a conversation here or possibly at a round table about a deicer that was better than rock salt. All I remember about it was that A) It was a liquid and B) It was blue....

Apparently I told a customer about this product back in 2008 because she called me today wanting to know more about it haha..I DONT REMEMBER!

Anyone?

Thanks.....

Calcium Chloride was supposed to be the answer but it is almost as bad as the rock salt.

Maybe potassium or magnesium chloride?...whichever you can find.

Almost all liquids would prbly be windshield washer / anti-freeze type mixes?

That's all I can think of. We don't get much snow around here....usually :)

55 views and noone knows! ;-) hmmm, I was afraid of that. Thanks Paul, I seen that Calcium Chloride was good down to about -20 but is extremely corrosive as you have already mentioned. I wish I could remember the name of the stuff that was being discussed. I think it was an alternative product of some sort that did a good job without causing any damage to concrete. Maybe it was Henry B talking about it....I'll give em a call.

There was some liquid versions that were supposed to be ok but really they have their own issues too. I would look on one of the landscaper boards they will be much more familiar with it.
