Default Pond Supplies


"The following stock solution of Sodium Thiosulfate does not treat for
Chloramine, only Chlorine."

Most of us wouldn't be interested in purchasing this because it takes
so little for the amount of water we treat, but there have been big
pond posters here in the past that used it. Check the directions on
how to mix this 500g (approx 1 lb) container from the above site. It
mixes to a one gallon stock mix, used at 2 drops per gallon of water,
which treats 37,850 gallons. I have an 8 oz bottle of something to
dechlorinate with that I picked up from Pet Smart a little over a year
ago and haven't used all of it yet. That translates into a 16 year
supply for me, but you guys might have to reorder sooner.

Thanks for the chemical name Ingrid! CRS occurs on the East coast
too. I'll never use it, but I did write it down this time.
