Don't take our word for it, the pictures are right here. The top picture is Natrium 260, the bottom picture is Maintenance Plus.
Start by looking at the size of the chrystals in comparison to the size of the dime. The dime is the same size in each picture. See how much larger the chrystals are in Nartium. They are also more uniform in size. this is what's known as consistancy, quality and care in manufacturing. These are characteristics that The Soda Works insists be incorporated in every product that goes in and out of your doors.
What these pictures don't show is the fine dust that is part of the Maintenance Plus product. the dust is left when you wipe away the soda. The dust is what you don't want. It costs you money and does no work.
Maintenance Plus sodium bicarbonate is good for keeping the PH balance in your swimming pool, not much else. Natrium is good for sodablasting. It is the only soda blasting media to use if you want to run a profitable soda blasting business and the Buster Blaster system from Soda Works is the only true soda blaster designed from the ground up specifically and exclusively for the task of soda blasting.
