Re: [Killietalk] Chlorine removal



I use about $3.50 worth of purchased "ginger carbon" and get about 6 months 
use (twice now) out of it at a rate that has been variable as I build and 
extend my water system. I would guess that I put about 7,000 gallons through it 
before it began to test faintly positive for chlorine. That 7,000 gallons is 
based on about 40 tanks at <1 gph for 2 hours a day which I think comes to 40 
tanks x 1 gph x180 days = 7,200. This last time I changed it I used a "free" door 
prize of "Black Diamond" carbon. Even if my estimate is off by a twofold 
error, it seems cheap for the carbon.
