Does anyone know where I can get some of this stuff locally? I need it to start dripping kalk.

Why not just use airline tubing?

You can get IV tubing at many Pharmacies and Medical Supply stores. If you know someone who works in a Hospital, they can usually get unused tubing.
I like IV tubing for dripping Kalk because it comes with an end that seals itself when it's poked through the wall of a plastic jug, and it also usually has an easy-to-operate drip control dial or knob.

That's basically what it is, but it has a little adjuster on it that controls drip rate. The adjuster is what I'm really after.

Mariner, I heard somewhere that I needed a prescription to buy one from a medical supply store. Do you know if that's true or not?

Rob, are you going to come to the PPG meeting? If so could you bring one along w/you?

I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. I've been given them (FREE) by two different pharmacies and I didn't have a prescription. Maybe Rob can hook you up -- I've got extra too, but it's too far to drive :D

Yes but you will need to remind me the day before, or I promise I will forget.
