Dechloraminators : Polyvinylpyrolidone... not just sodium
thiosulfate, hypo sulfite (which only neutralize chlorine) |
Homemade Dechlor Hey guys, wonderful sight filled with a plethora
(hehe) of info. Any chance of a recipe for Dechlor- using sodium
thiosulfate, should there be something mixed in for ammonia. <Yes...
about two pounds of "hypo" per total gallon volume product... for the
chlorine... and PVP (poly vinyl pyrolidone) for the ammonia... but
rather than the latter, I would store, aerate the dechlorinated water
for a week or so ahead of usage...> Have you heard of metal gone
products and if so what are your thoughts. Anthony Calfo killer book
#1341. Thanks for everything WetWeb family. Thanks again, Rocky
<Ah, will send you msg. on to Antoine. Bob Fenner>
Dechloraminator Clues B) Dechloraminators : Here I mean one's
that "really" work, that is, that take care of both chlorine and
ammonia. These typically involve poly-vinyl compounds. This is a big
hint! I need a better hint –Please <Polyvinylpyrolidone... not just
sodium thiosulfate, hypo sulfite (which only neutralize chlorine)...
take a read on the listed ingredients on the bottles... Products like
Amquel, Novaqua, Stresscoat... Bob Fenner> Thanks, Mark
Sodium thiosulfate Hi I have been reading your article on sodium
thiosulfate. I found it very interesting. I decided to give it a go,
unfortunately I am having trouble finding it and was wondering if you
could tell me were I could buy it from. <Most chemical and
photographic supply stores/outlets carry this (sometimes as "hypo" or
sodium hyposulfite. Here's one:

very grateful for any information you can give me. Regards john
