Chloramine removal... Are aquarium products safe?
I don't understand what you're getting at?
Chloramine apparently isn't volatile like chlorine, meaning it won't evaporate out of the water as easily. So, letting your water sit doesn't work for chloramine... you need to filter it or remove it with chemicals.
Chloramine is used as a disinfectant, so while it may be helpful to your plant by killing fungus and such, it also kills the beneficial bacteria that help your plant. So, I would rather get rid of it.
So what I'm wondering is whether or not the aquarium products you can get to remove chlorine are safe to use with plants or not? Does anyone use these or know?
Here are the ingredients:
-Sodium hydroxymethane sulfinate
-chelating compounds
-polyvinyl pyrollidones
-seaweed bipolymers
-organic hydrocolloids
The product is AquaSafe made by Tetra Aqua, it claims to:
-Neutralize chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals
-Enhance natural, protective slime coating of fish
-Works in seconds
So, I don't know how this could really be harmful. There wouldn't be any salts from what I can gather... Any thoughts?Brown-eyed women and red grenadine...
