He told me Ospho can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes for about $30.00 but I can't find it anywhere here in CA. and it's twice that price on line.

Anyone in California have you been able to find or is this something else we can't buy here
Here is a link on Home Depot''s website for $16. This is also what I use.

I saw it on ebay for $36, which is more than double, but still cheap to get good results!
Here's that link:
