The SnowJoe I used last year is not available anymore (94% pure). Does this seem OK? It says 100% calcium chloride on home depot website. I am open to ideas if someone had a better source. This is from Home Depot and about $25 for 50lb which is cheap.

Yes - just checked again. They say over 500 in stock. I am getting two. $35 delivery fee sticks but the stuff is dirt cheap, even with the fee.

Interesting. When I reset the HD store to one local to me or yours in Riverhead it came up as available. Learned something about the quirks of the HD site.

Good find - I usually have to search a lot. My store might have 52 bags of this as of now. I say "might" because of the note: "Note: Product, brand and packaging may vary by store"
Some of the comments indicate sometimes it is a completely different brand/concentration/product formulation that is really in stock.
 
So what arrived was vaporizer brand calcium chloride. Labels says 90-92% calcium chloride, water 4-6%, potassium chloride 2-3% and sodium chloride 1-2%. I think its ok
 
Not seeing OP stuff but see this: Snow Joe 20 lb. 94% Pure Calcium Chloride Ice Melt Pellets MELT20CPP - The Home Depot I have a salt pool so not worried about the extra sodium chloride but not sure about the rest:
