Like many people on this site, I really like the Helmer plasma thaw bath. I don't like that the 8 ounce bottle of CLEANBATH is so expensive. This is a product that is added to the water after routine cleaning. Are there any recomendations for an alternative? The active ingredience are not listed on the container but it is a combustible, toxic irritant.

I think Cardinal has a similiar substitute. I compared MSDS's to get active ingrediant. But I don't think the price was much better. We use so little of it that I still buy from Helmer.

I have not checked, but I have been told it is the same as a water bed conditioner.This contains Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride.
