What dechlorinator do you use.

[danielratti]

I am looking for something new and please do not say you have a well. I am looking for something that isn't going to break the bank I've been using kordon  but it is getting too expensive and hard for us to get at a good price.

 Is sodium thiosulfate a good option I've seen on lists that we can get 5 pounds of it for about 20 bucks.

I use Prime but I recently have only used it for fry tanks or when the city is flushing their system and using extra chlorine instead of chloramine...or when I'm doing a WC and the water smells strongly of chlorine.

I am using the DR.fosters/smith brand cheaper then prime, have noticed no difference.

Good to know.  Cheaper e.g. same size bottle less expensive, or bigger bottle, or both?

I've been going from tap to tank for years with no problems.

I have drawn off the tap and stored water for a couple days to dechlorinate and bring it back up to room temperature with no ill effects.  My city water department still uses chlorine only to disinfect.

Thats the cheapest way to do it... but, is a pain in the kiester when you have multiple tanks and change out a couple hundred gallons of water a week.

You should check out Juergen Kasprick's setup for aging water (pics or video...I think available on Ken's Fishroom videos?  I saw it in one or two MCAS presentations).

Need to compare on equal footing

Fosters Chlorine Neutralizer...................2.5 gallon treats...19600 gallons......$56.45 (5  64oz bottles at sales price of $11.29)
Prime ...............................................2 litter treats up to 20,000 gallons....$36.99


also Prime says "Provides essential ions and stimulates natural slime coat "

I use Kordon at the moment.  I order from Ken's Fish.  Probably will be switching to Prime in the new future.
