Van Isle Water Services focuses on water conditioning treatments for water wells, sewage treatment and pools, but the conventional supplies Van Isle has in stock for everyday and summer activities holds great value when winter hits and other retailers run out.

Irvine said that throughout the year they are fully stocked with different types of salt, primarily for water conditioning, and that predicting the use for winter is hit or miss.
B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 human nature to leave things last minute, and in Victoria, a snowfall like this is hard to predict,B次元官网网址� Irvine said. B次元官网网址淟ast year we sold out because [our supplier in] Vancouver ran out. This year our order was exactly right on time.B次元官网网址�
Irivine said their supply is popular because of the quality and price of the salt.
B次元官网网址淭he stuff we sell is pure salt that comes in crystallized form. ItB次元官网网址檚 very conducive to spreading around, and a lot cheaper than the dying needed in the Ice Melt,B次元官网网址� he said.

For Brent Cowling, general manager of both the Cook Street and Bay Street Castle Building Centre locations, having the local option is a blessing in the winter, especially after he ran out of his own supply of salt and Ice Melt.
