We do not supply any chemicals. I suggest starting by referring to your yellow pages, under chemicals. Also, some farm supply stores (Agway, Growmark, etc.)stock many of these chemicals. Some are carried by swimming pool supply houses. Phosphoric Acid is just one type used. Sulfuric Acid (66 deg) is also widely used (see page 60 of our catalog), as well as muriatic acid. Even chlorine is used to remove iron (see page 11 of our catalog), though not as frequently.
