Chlorine Removers

Chlorine removers chemically react with dangerous chlorine in tap water, making the chlorine harmless.

Chlorine removers are necessary only if you're using tap water to mix up your saltwater. We strongly don't recommend using tap water usless you know for certain that your water quality is perfect.

If you are using Reverse Osmosis (RO), which we strongly recommend, then you wont need to use chlorine removes since RO removes the chlorine during filtration. Actually the chlorine is removed by the Carbon prefilter in an RO unit, since chlorine will destroy the actual RO membrane.

Nevertheless it's good to have come of this on hand in case of emergencies. Also some of chlorine removers have a compound included in it called stress coat, which supposedly helps maintain the mucous coating on the outside of fish.

Its important to test for Chlorine after its removed, and also when testing Carbon filters on an RO unit.

Tests such as the quick tip can accurately tell you if you have any residual chlorine left.
