5 pounds? in what form? pure that would probably dechlor a large lake!
Only works on Chlorine... will break the bonds of chloramine leaving free ammonia. With Chlorine it forms NaCl (salt), salt will cause ammonia to be released from many of the binders used to hold it (like the Ammo-chips sold for aquariums ... not zeolite what is that stuff really called?) Anyway all this is to say...If present ammonia should be dealt with and tested before and after use. |

yes, pure. salt has to be nearly a brine before it knocks ammonia off of zeolite.
low levels of salt wont do that to any significant level. Ingrid "ajames54" wrote: 5 pounds? in what form? pure that would probably dechlor a large lake!

Several have system which generates a one-time-use-only card number. Paypal is very secure since no one ever really sees your data. -- Crashj |

The use of Sodium Thiosulfate does break the bond on chloromine and ties up
the chlorine part so it works to remove chlorine. I use it all the time as a dechlor. The amount of ammonia in the chloromined water is nearly negligible in quantity once in the pond and if the filter is working properly, it will be removed along with any other ammonia generated by the fish post haste. Now if the quantity of water change is large, 50- 90% I would use Amquel, which I also stock. I use Amquel when the fish spawn, since I get a very high ammonia spike that lasts but a few days before the filter takes care of it, but I don't want any damage in those few days. I bought my Sodium Thiosulfate from AES also, but a 50 pound bucket. Maybe I will need to buy another in 20 years or so. Use 500 grams per gallon of water and it will treat about 20,000 gallons of pond water. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Benign Vanilla" wrote in message ...

I think Aquatic EcoSystems has a $100 minimum order for us, not to mention the shipping/brokerage hassle. |
