Recommendation for chlorine/chloramine remover?
Could someone recommend a good chlorine/chloramine remover to get, that
works good, and is cheap in the long run? I'm thinking I'm gonna stick with a product that just removes the chlorine/chloramine/ammonia and nothing else (ie: no slime coat stuff, etc.). Which means I'm trying to choose between the following: (taken from http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/rev-cond.htm) API Ammo-Lock Kent Ammonia Detox Kordon Amquel Marineland BIO-Safe Seachem AmGuard Any of these better than the other? Which one would be best and most economical (though money is second p , I'd rather go for best)? Any help in choosing is greatly appreciated. If you know of any other that you really like, I'm willing to consider them too.

Find out if your water has chloramine or just plain chlorine. If just plain
old chlorine, then sodium thiosulfate is your cheapest alternative. One pound, which I bought locally for $8.00, will probably last my lifetime.

According to my city's web site, there are two pumps that provide water, one uses only chlorine, the other chloramines, which one I actually get my water from, I'm not sure, and I'm guessing it might be dynamic depending on water demands, etc. So I have to assume the worst and plan for chloramines all the time.

I prefer Seachem Prime. It's cheaper that Am-quel, as the dosege (sp?) is less (about 1ml per 10
gallons). Len wrote in : AMQUEL is the best. |

One More and more water treatment facilities are switching to Chloramine, so you need to be careful that yours doesn't switch without telling you. Additionally, be aware that even if your local water treatment plant only uses Chlorine, it is possible that trace amounts of ammonia (from agricultural runoff, etc), could combine with the chlorine and form chloramine.

Thanks, the only thing I don't like about Prime is that it does more than just remove the chlorine/chloramines ... which isn't always a bad thing, but I'd rather use just the minimum amount of chemicals needed to get the job done. Check out the bottom of this site for a better explanation of what I mean: http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/rev-cond.htm Thanks, Harry |

Hmmm... I didn't know about that other Seachem Ammonia product. Sounds cheaper than Prime:)
Will have to check it out. Thank _you_. I didn't care for the other things Prime did, either. "Harry Muscle" wrote in : "LtWolfe" wrote in message . .. I prefer Seachem Prime.

As far as I'm aware the only two products that remove the ammonias that chloramine leaves behind are API Ammo-Lock
Kent Ammonia Detox. Most other dechlorinators claim to remove chloramine and probably do, but the chloramine leaves behind ammonias which aren't removed. |

It is claimed to remove ammonia (but not to isolate it so much that the plants and bacteria can't get it), and many people use it specifically to keep ammonia under control in tanks that have a temporary shortage of biological filtration. -- Dan Drake http://www.dandrake.com |
