[C320-list] H2o Heater Replacement

[Irv Grunes]

Found a product at WM called Aquabon. Sounds similar to the puriclean, is
there any similarity:

The product is Puriclean. It is non-toxic and biodegradable. It comes in
powder form in the freshwater kit. You simply dissolve the specified amount
in a cup of hot water and pour into your tanks, fill them and wait 1-12
hours. I do this once in the spring and if I haven't used my water in a
while, will put a teaspoon in once or twice during the season. Many places
sell it and I'm sure there are competing products, but I've attached a link
so you can see the product....
