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 ...

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!

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 . . .

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!

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.

Clear Pond� also sells the dry stuff... it treats 45,000 gal and retails
for about $9.99, I think.

Today I drained and filled a 7K pond with a frick'n 10 x 8 UG, what a
pain... hope all 40 fish are doing well in the am... and the weeks to
come, cause I fried that UG with muni water ;-)

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!

Opps... Its the other one I guess... Pond Clear�, I'll get the product #
in the am. Does not deal with ammonia, its just that it is small and I
keep them as back-up in the trucks.

Yikes, there are just too many "clear" in ponding. The correct name is
Crystal Clear® Dechlorinator - Dry, It's made by 'Crystal Clear", the
Winston Co.

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!
