ChlorAm-X Where can I buy this? (was: Yo! math wiz help, please!)
Hi Lee, Sorry for breaking in here ... I didn't know that AmQuel's patent
has expired. I'm ready to order another gallon... Since ChlorAm-X is cheaper ... where can I get it?? Thanks ... Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Lee Brouillet" wrote in message ... OK, I'm math impaired, so don't confuse me . . . I think it goes something like this: you use X grams (or ounces) for each mg/liter of ammonia. My test kits read ppm, not mg/liter. So, if my incoming water has 1 ppm ammonia in it (chloramines in the water supply), do I treat the ppm as mg/liter and add the ChlorAm-X accordingly? FYG, the patent on AmQuel has expired, so the "recipe" is open . . . ChlorAm-X is Amquel's formula, but about half the cost. Unfortunately, their doseage info needs some work . . . it's a good thing you can't overdose the stuff! Lee "Lee Brouillet" wrote in message ... Somewhere in the back of my foggy ol' brain, I seem to remember that "ppm" was the same as "mg/l". Yes? No? I need to convert the doseage for dry ChlorAm-X into something I understand a little better . . . Lee -- Lee B. See my Zone 9 a/b ponds at: http://community.webshots.com/user/dragnp |
ChlorAm-X Where can I buy this? (was: Yo! math wiz help, please!)
AES has it: a 5 lb. box (treats 18,749 gals.) is $22.50. A 2.4 lb. box of
the dry AmQuel will treat 8,250 gals. and is $38.00. So in actuality, ChlorAm-X is about 1/4 the cost (AmQuel being $.0046 per gallon and ChlorAm-X being $.0012 per gallon). One of the side benefits of the dry powder is that you mix it when you need it, so there's no deterioration in quality (always fresh). Girl, ya gotta keep UP with this stuff G!! This hobby is expensive: gotta save the $$$ where you can! Lee "Nedra" wrote in message thlink.net... Hi Lee, Sorry for breaking in here ... I didn't know that AmQuel's patent has expired.

Muffin, for the first time, I got in just under the wire. Just today
I was shaking the gallon jug of AmQuel to see if it was time to re-order. Not quite yet.... so believe me, I know exactly how you feel.

I checked Clear Pond's site; they have a product called Chloramine Buster .
.. . is that what you're talking about? I'm not familiar with their product(s), so I'll have to check into it further. I've always used AmQuel and trust it implicitly . . . it's pulled my bacon outta the fire more than once. I know that ChlorAm-X is the SAME formula, complete with buffers. I know that it's been tested to 50 X the suggested doseage rate (and more) with no problem to the fish. There are a lot of products that will break the chlorine/ammonia bond immediately (like for a water change), but AmQuel has a residual effect that continues to work, so if you have a fish overload or your filter is having a problem, this product continues to protect the fish from ammonia issues. If the Clear Pond product has the buffers, it's worth a look into! But the buffers are worth the extra $$ if/when you have a problem (like a utililty that thinks they need to add 6 times MORE than they say they do!) Right now, I have water issues AFTER I do a water change, not before! Lee "Go Fig" wrote in message ...

Thanks Jay . . . I'll look into it. As explained "up there" somewhere, the
stuff I've been using has buffers in it, which keeps it in the water for awhile. I've never seen a buffered product this cheap before, so it will be interesting to see what's in it!
