Does Choramine kill BB?

[tcarswell]

I read in a previous post (I believe on MFK) from someone who worked in the water treatment field and they were suggesting that chlorine takes a bit to have full effect at "killing" things...

I would imagine it is similar to UV lighting... It starts "attacking" instantly, but not evertyhing "dies" so easily... some things take a bit...

So I would suggest that both Chlorine and Chloramine 'instantly' start destroying your bacteria... but may not 'instantly' kill it...

But either way, using a proper dechlorinator (I also use Prime) is very wise...

Right that makes sense. I was just taking a shot at his original arbitrary question of whether it did or did not. I pretty much assume full contact for a bit will do it. Just like with our fish it may take them a little while and certain concentration to kill a fish but the fish wont be happy for the meanwhile.
