HELP! Removing chlorine from pond water
Help! My landscaper accidently knocked a hose off my pond pump and
emptied 3/4 of the water. When I arrived home my fish were in a foot of water, alive & swimming but I had to add water back late, last night immediatley, about 1,000 gallons. I didn't have any dechlorinator. Today I saw them swimming, water very murky but considering the cool weather they should be lower in depth. The frogs were above as well. Should I still attempt to purchase a dechlorinator in the morning or is it too late? Have to test ph tomorrw as well. I live in Morristown, NJ, temp is about 55 degrees right now. Have about 50 comets and 2 small koi. |

I would not have waited but gone and bought some early this morning. -- KL.... Frugal ponding since 1995. My Pond & Aquarium Pages: http://tinyurl.com/9do58 ~~~~ }((((* ~~~ }{{{{(ö ~~~~ }((((({* |

If the water utility uses chloramines, running the pumps would not assist in lowering the chlorine levels. If the water utility uses dissolved chlorine gas, then by the time the original poster read your response, the chlorine would have dissipated already. Additionally if the chlorine/chloramines levels were high enough to be harmful, the damage would have already been done before the poster could have added a dechlorinator 12 - 24 hours later. -S |

Are you going to suggest all the new people start posting using my name AGAIN to cause confusion? I post what works or worked for me or what I read online or in fish books and magazines. If you have a problem with that TROLL, then skip my posts because your TROLLING me is not going to drive me off this newsgroup. If the water utility uses chloramines, running the pumps would not assist in lowering the chlorine levels. He didn't say his water contained chlorimines did he/she? Running the pumps until he can get to the store would not HURT and can help if the water contains chlorine Mr. TROLL. If the water utility uses dissolved chlorine gas, then by the time the original poster read your response, the chlorine would have dissipated already. And you know this how? You know the size of his/her pond and the amount of chlorine the water contained? YOU WERE THERE? Additionally if the chlorine/chloramines levels were high enough to be harmful, the damage would have already been done before the poster could have added a dechlorinator 12 - 24 hours later. Read up on the long term effects of non-lethal doses of chlorine............. -- KL.... Frugal ponding since 1995.

You might have dodged the bullet this time, you'll know come morning, but may not next time. ~ jan -------------- See my ponds and filter design: www.jjspond.us Photographic film processing hypo is much cheaper and does the same thing. Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) is a colorless crystalline compound that is more familiar as the pentahydrate, Na2S2O3•5H2O, an efflorescent, monoclinic crystalline substance also called sodium hyposulfite or “hypo.” To dechlorinate tap water for aquariums requires between 0.1 grams and 0.3 grams of pentahydrated (crystaline) sodium thiosulfate per 10 liters of water. (1/3 oz to 1 oz per 250 gallons) -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families! Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops. You are not forgotten. Thanks ! ! ! ~Semper Fi~ |

And you know this how? You know the size of his/her pond and the amount of chlorine the water contained? YOU WERE THERE? Failed at math, eh? Original poster said they lost 3/4 of the pond's volume, and readded 1000 gal to fill it up. I'll let you do the math to figure out total pond volume. A simple google search would tell you EPA acceptible residual chlorine/chloamine concentrations, and chlorine/chloramine disappation rates. Learn how to use google, it let's you do a better job of appearing to be an authority. Read up on the long term effects of non-lethal doses of chlorine............. Do you know? Provide a URL or reference. -S |

You know that because you told Roy and Antonio both to use my NYM to harass and disrupt the group. I'm sure if you get your other friends to join in, you can all finish off this NG before the year ends Snooze. Wont you all be proud of yourselves then? -- KL.... Frugal ponding since 1995.
