Re: [Killietalk] Cloromine

To remove clorine from the water put one drop of hypo into the water.  One
drop will clear one gallon of clorine from the water.  I do not know what
the effect it has on fish over a period of a long time.  I have used it and
there were no ill effects.  Of course, I don't use it all the time; only
when there is an emergency.

Actually, I got the idea for using activated carbon when my wife got a
Brita
water pitcher and I was immediately impressed with how well it removed the
chlorine taste, so t tested the water and it was zero chlorine and lasted
for
months. Later I found some references to the capability of activated carbon
to
remove chlorine. Our tap water tests at 4-5 ppm chlorine, although the
water
company claims it is much less.
