Thanks for this idea Tony, I'll check them out next week. Thanks to
all the others who replied and for their suggestions. I've bought DE
locally before but the supplier seems to have disappeared into the
woodwork. All the local so called health suppliers I've contacted
only have the heat treated variety - what the heck health suppliers
are doing with this variety is beyond me but I guess they have their
reasons. The stuff they sell is very white while the stuff I've been
using is a very light beige in colour.
While we're on the subject of minerals from mother earth. Has anymore
information come to light re the uses (or not) of Zeolite? Just
wondering as we're sitting on tons of the stuff around here.
Cheers to all, Roger

Subject : CS>Diatomaceous Earth
Hi all, I'm trying to source some food grade diatomaceous earth down
here in New Zealand and keep coming up with the pool filter heat
treated variety. Can anyone tell me if there is a visible difference
between the food grade and the heat treated variety as I'm sure there
must be some of the right kind available around here somewhere?
Cheers, Roger B
