Water declorinators

Hi , was looking to get a more economical water declorinator for both my aquariums and koi pond , presently use jbl boitop in the tanks and ptime in the pond . Have been looking around and have seen a product which comes in a crystal form one of the brand names its sold under is SAFE . I says that 150 grams of these crystals will declorinate and de cloramine 30000 litres of water , the cost of 150 grams is 9.90 GBP plus 4.50 postage . Does anyone know anything about this product ? . Robert

Ask google, put in a question, is ( product name) safe for aquarium fish. See what comes up.

This was advertised on a online aquarium site , but just wondering if anyone has used it , it seems incredable cheap

It's certainly very cheap. I've being using prime for years. The bottle cost about 20€ but in fairness it lasts a year. If it's being sold on an aquarium site it has to be safe. Give it a try.

King of diy had made his own de chlorinator, it was in crystal form, I think the product u are talking about is similar to the one he made

Well this arrived on friday , did my pond water change today 3 gramms of the crystals used so reckon i will get 50 water changes for under 15 euro , i think for the moment i will just use it on the pond and see how it goes

Can u give me the link to where you got it? I am looking for something for my pond, I was going to go with Jbl but since u discovered this I would like to go this route

Hi Aldrin, it was purchased through ebay , company was Aquamatrix , product number is 272417484579 . Cost i brought 2x 75 grams plus postage total cost 15.28 sterling about 20 euro , this will do 60,000 litres of water . A bottle of Prime treats 20,000 litres and cost 30 euro, so it would cost 90 euro to use prime . Quiet a good saving, my understanding is that prime is the same stuff just in a liquid form . I spoke to Aquamatrix, they sudjest to weight out the correct amount of crystal and mix them in a jug or bucket with luke warm water and then add to the pond when topping up . They also said it would be very hard to overdose , which is similar to prime . Hope this helps .

Ok, i think I would only need 1 as my pond is only 500l

If you buy two you only pay postage for one , so itworks out a better deal

I use prime all the time but that stuff looks to be better value for ponds and larger tanks.

does it remove chloramine aswell? its not that difficult to get rid of chlorine but chloramine is the difficult, chlorine usually gasses off after 2 days

Hi , yes it does
