Regular Member cometgoldielover Posted May 2, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted May 2, 2005 I dont get on much as Im at a loss for comp time. But I needed an answer for this one. On the bottle of declorinator it says 5ml/10gallons to rid chlorine and 5 ml/5 gallons to rid clorimines. Does this mean that since my water has clorimes i need 15 ml/10 gallons or just 5 or 10. Please help!!! I just bought a 2 liter jug and need to know. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mary Posted May 2, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi, cometgoldielover! The way I read it, you need 1 ml per gallon of the dechlor you are using to get rid of the chloramines. So that would be 10 ml for 10 gallons (U.S.). It generally doesn't hurt to use a little more dechlor, though. HTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member LaurieP Posted May 2, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted May 2, 2005 Yes I would use the higher amount. We know that it is still safe in that range. I use Prime as my water conditioner and you can easily double the dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member magickzzl Posted May 2, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted May 2, 2005 i double dosed on my dechole a few times with no problems. if it has a "bio coating" to help the slime coat (like stress coat) just keep the airation up, becuase if you overdose TO much, it can take out some of the oxygen. but i have never had that problem at home... only at work when we SUPER dosed because SOMEONE dumped bleach in the tanks... (Grrrr... I can understand if you hate a pershop, but dont murder the animals..... especially when we actually take care of ours.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
