Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Since the Ammonia test no longer works after using this product, how am I supposed to know what my ammonia level actually is? This is for a new pond and the reason I need to do water changes is to control the ammonia while my biofilter is establishing.

A: You will interfere with the Ammonia test if you double dose with dechlorinator. Used according to the instructions on the bottle you will NOT interfere with the Ammonia tests. Even then, if you're concerned, the Salicylate test kit is NOT upset by any amount of dechlorinator.

Q: What is the applied rate? The last de-chlor I bought; the rate is 2 drops per gallon of new water, I have bought in the past 1 ml to 20 gallons do you have this? Thanks Lou

A: Hey there, thanks for asking, the dosing rate with our dechlor is 1 ml per twenty US gallons, which means a bottle of our dechlor will treat more than 70-75,000 gallons of water. An easier way than millilliters is to go "one teaspoon per one hundred gallons". Also, you get a free sixty milliliter dosing syringe with EACH gallon of Pondrx Chlor No More you buy. [Doc Johnson]

Q: Does your PondRx dechlor handle Chloramines?

A: Some folks sell thiosulfate dechlor as a Chloramine binder because it will break the bond in Chloramine between the Chlorine and the Ammonia, and neutralize the Chlorine. The ammonia which is left behind is in nominal amounts, and is no match for a cycled filtration system. So, some of these companies sell the thiosulfates as a Chlorine and Chloramine binder and the consumer is none-the-wiser. Answer: Our Pondrx thiosulfate dechlorinator is not a Chloramine neutralizer even though it will make Chlorinated/Chloraminated water perfectly safe for habitation through its application in cycled systems during water changes.

Q: Does your "dechlorinator" also remove ammonia?

A: That depends on who you're talking to. If you *double* dose, it will make your Ammonia test kit UNABLE to read ammonia anymore. This is why *some* companies bottle various thiosulfates up and call it Chlorine / Ammonia binder. They specify a dose high enough to defeat your Ammonia kit, and you're none the wiser. So, the honest answer is *no*. Pondrx dechlorinator only binds Chlorine and most heavy trace metals. If your Ammonia disappears after it's use it's only a testing anomaly
