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: http://www.chemistrystore.com/sodium_thiosulfate.htm>
I would be very grateful for any information you can give me.
Regards
john
