Randy I bought this box of Magnesium Chloride pellets at the local BJ's Store here in Rochester, NY. I was wondering if the amounts in your recipe would be the same as this is pellet form and if you think this product is pure enough to use? Thank you for your Time.

I cannot tell if it is adequately pure, but it is very likely the same in terms of the recipe. Mix a small amount into a small amount of tap water. If it does not get warm, use my recipe. If it gets warm it is anhydrous and you would use less.

Thanks Randy I mixed a small amount of the Magnesium Chloride in to tap water and it did not get hot this product is from the dead sea Israel.

I got it for about a $1.00 a LB.

OK, that seems reasonable to try using the same recipe as for MAG Flake.
