Crystal Clear Vanish Dechlorinator Dry and Liquid

Even low levels of chlorine and chloramines can be toxic to fish. These substances are added to cities water supplies to make the water safe for human consumption. However, they are extremely harmful to all pond life. Chlorine and chloramines cause gill damage which eventually results in gill lesions. These lesions will eventually thicken the gill filaments leaving fish unable to utilize oxygen and release carbon dioxide, thus resulting in fish death.

LIQUID - CrystalClear Dechlorinator (Liquid) is sodium thiosulfate which is widely used to break down chlorine and chloramines and is considered non-toxic to fish. Sodium thiosulfate was chosen because it provides a very effective solution for use in water gardens and ponds because of its ability to break the chlorine bond and chemically remove the chlorine after a short working time. Aeration of the water (which the majority of water gardens have present) will allow the ammonia, which was released from the chlorine bond, to escape as a gas over a period of one to two hours. Any remaining ammonia will be filtered out through flow through filters which most often contain activated carbon or some type of filter material.  Sold in a 8.3 oz. bottle that treats 5,000 gallons. This product is less potent than the dry but the directions should still be followed closely. It is best used for regular water changes and when filling a new pond. We recommend not putting in any fish or plant life until a day after treatment to be safe. This should give any residual ammonia enough time to escape or filter out.  CrystalClear Dechlorinator (Liquid) is phosphate and nitrate free, safe for fish and plants and has a shelf life of 3 years.

Any remaining ammonia will be filtered out through flow through filters which most often contain activated carbon or some type of filter material.  Sold in a 0.5 lb. bottle that treats 45,000 gallons this product is extremely potent and directions should be followed closely. It is best used for regular water changes and when filling a new pond. We recommend not putting in any fish or plant life until a day after treatment to be safe.
