be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Chlorine dioxide sources
Karl,
I take it the "camping tablets" that Northern Brewer sells
are not what you're looking for with chlorine dioxide?
(Those tabs are $8.50 for 20. Same stuff as REI sells,
I think.)
Is there a reason those won't work for you? I ask because
that's one of the sanitizing agents that I haven't fooled
with at all, so I'm not familiar with why the camping tabs
aren't desirable. Perhaps because they're not pure sodium
chlorite but instead contain the cyanuric-acid-related
disinfectant as well?
Friends of mine have used these tablets for yeast-washing,
though, so they do work for at least that.
If all you want is the sodium chlorite powder in non-pallet
quantities, maybe a Google search of some "MMS" quack sites
can help you. Nope, I don't know what MMS is, other than
some alleged cure for anything that ails ya, but there is
perhaps a reasonable chance that you can get sodium chlorite
from them, since that's the "cure" that they sell. Whether
the flake/powder form is of a reasonable purity, who knows,
but perhaps there is a reasonably simply way to check that
yourself -- or refer to the equipment-required process
described in "EPA method 327.0".
