The canisters scare me. I have had two members of our watergarden club
have the filters fail and kill fish. If you are going to use them, then
you really need a chlorine test kit and check the outflow frequently to
see when it is full and stops working. In one case, it was like it
started in reverse. The water coming out of the filter had a higher
chlorine level than the water going into the filter. It read as high safe
for a swimming pool.

I bought one of those filters that use a cannister filter-the kind you
mount under the kitchen sink. Got 1 at Wally World for 27 bucks, with the
chlorine cartridge, added a couple parts to adapt to hose, and a valve,
and a shower head (just in case). About 36 bucks, but replacement
cartridges are only 7 bucks. Made a stand for it, works great! Also use
for Mama's "sensitive" plants.

I have a 3000 gallon pond that I normally top off using my well water.
The house is on city water, the well pump quit after 17 years and it is
getting replaced. I need to top off the pond with about 200 gallons of
water. Anyone else here ever buy a applicator for fertilizer that goes on
the end of hose , mix the appropriate amount of water and dechlorinater
in the jug and top off there pond? I am doing it as I write this, I
actually put twice the required amount of dechlorinator in the jug and
put enough for 2500 gallons at the intake of the pump to spread it
around. How do other people deal with this when you use city water?
