Best chem to remove chloramines

[zennzzo]

As the title says, I change a fair amount of water out a week. I am looking for bulk chem that will allow for removal of chloramines and other stuff that is not 10ml for 10 gal. I am tired of using half a bottle to change my 360 setup a lone. Anyone wanna chime in.

Mike this is the stuff that de-chlorinaters are based on...

I don't think atm Prime can be beat for price or performance.

Prime it is then. I was wanting to see if anything else was better. I find that there is not. I will need to find it in bulk... any know a place?

Ask your LFS they might be able to help point you where to buy in bulk or maybe a site that sells it all i can think of and may i add that prime is very good .

Most people fear it cause it does not come in a pretty bottle. I have been using it for a few months and it works great. Pond keepers have been using it for decades. They actually mention it on Primes web site. Of course they say that this alone is not enough. But I would to if I was trying to push a different product.

This stuff might be a great cheap dechlorinator but thats all it does. There is other things that could be in tap water like chloramine, ammonia, nitrite and other heavy metals. I have bad tasting water and worry about these things. It might take a chance it if prime wasn't so cheap but $50 to treat 40,000 gallons of water! Not bad, huh?

Thats stuff breaks the chloramine bond and gets rid of the chlorine. As for the ammonia and nitrite thats is what your bio filter does anyway. But you are right it does not take care of heavy metals. Or any other marketing gimmick. -----------What some people fail to under stand is that this stuff is the same as those pretty dechlorinators minus a ammonia bonding agent. And thats why we have biological bacteria in the first place.
