Zeolite supply

Post by Petra »

hi guy's,
For all interested in where to get Natural zeolite.I came across this site. sales@cmzeolites.com.au
Located at Quirindi NSW 0267463555 .They dig it and bag it. Also big W sells it in the B.B.Q section, under fat absorbers. Brand name is Festiva and comes in a 2kg bag for $5.90. Cheers! :D

Hi Petra,
I get Zeolite from Quirindi. It is a fair way to go, but a nice drive nonetheless. The owners are really nice people, but it is worth checking to make sure they are open when you are going to visit.

Last time Dad and I filled a trailer full to make the trip worthwhile. Bags were then divided up amongst frinds and club members. After three years, I am now nearly at teh end of my supply and will have to make a trip next year. It smells like another group buy opportunity :D
Regards
Steve

I get mine from Ray Nesci who sells Zeolite from CMZ zeolites.

He charges $15 for a bag about 20L which would be cheaper than the BIgW Source you mention. Added bonus is we are supporting a local small business too

ps
Clinton has informed they have ordered a delivery of Diatomite from Mt Sylvia Diatomite, http://www.mtsylviadiatomite.com.au/
He will let me know when it arrives but should be soon and I will post when it is delivered :-)

When I got a new filter for the pool I chased down zeolite from the pool supplies. It was not easy with most saying they get no better results out of the filter. What would they know :lol: It does seem to have alot of benefits as a pool filter I reckon and I am glad I paid the bit extra.
I found a supplier in bathurst and even though it was the 1mm size I got a few extra bags to see if it was any good for bonsai. I thought it was too small but it did make a good top dress. Now I am thinking it will make a great coarse sand for my mixes and I will have to get some more.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
