G'day all you Soilsais...
From my experience...
OilDri is a brand name...there are other "oil/water drying" agents. Mostly, they are interchangable...IF IF IF they are HIGH FIRED, and "natural earth" and NO ADDITIVES...
Schultz Aquatic Plant Soil and Profile (probably same as SAPS) sam "...IF IF IF they are HIGH FIRED, and "natural earth" and NO ADDITIVES...
The above goes for Turface as well...
I have used (1) OilDri, Profile and Turface interchangably...for years, and (2) Pumice and lava interchangably...for years, as well.
However, (1) and (2) are not interchangable.
Further...here in the USA, I would not waste my time looking for a suitable kitty litter...been ther, done that...doesn't work.
That's what works for me. It may work for you...or not.
