Their web site on this product just says:
Wardley Essentialsâ Chlor Outâ safely and effectively neutralizes chlorine and chloramines in tap water. Municipal water companies add chlorine or chloramines to the water supply to kill harmful bacteria.
This can be hazardous or even fatal to ornamental aquarium fish. Wardley Essentialsâ Chlor Outâ will instantly condition tap water when changing or adding water to the aquarium and when transporting or transferring fish.
Wardley Essentialsâ Chlor Outâ has little impact on biological filtration.


I thought American companies had to list ingredients?
The owner of this product can phone them and ask them to be sure?

Shocking.

Happened in Edinburgh, Scotland last year.
Many dozens of families woke up to dead fish one week as the water supplier switched to chloramine without tell anyone!
