How to remove the CHlorine from tap water

[iori_del]

Dear all, is there a equipment to remove chlorine.. i heard of RO equipment.. wat is tat???

[Melvyn Tan]

RO = Reverse Osmosis

DI = Dionised (Water)

These units are filled up with resins and all to remove metals

and unwated stuffs from the tap water.

An alternative is to use additives that removes chlorine + chlromine

Cheaper for start up, but top up eventually IMO should used DI/RO

water.

You can get RO from Sealife .. they sell KENT Marine products. They go by how much water they can produce in a hour. eg. 100 GPH meaning 100 gallon per hour.

Or you can order one from the net. Mime is from Aquasafe 100 GPD - 6 stage RO unit.

Hope it helps.

They have the alternative custom made DI units which is not bad and much cheaper compared to Kent kit

IMHO, dun need to get marine branded RO/DI unit. juz go shop for an industrial one will do. not forgetting, using RO/DI unit, u will waste water, unless u hv use for the discarded water from the RO/DI unit. resins needs to be changed periodically as well.

Juz me 2 cents, not against RO/DI users/sellers but rather to show the "hidden costs".

that will not remove chloramine

The idea of putting in bucket scare me..

The how do those 4-5 ft reefer change water?? i mean they dun keep so many bucket rite?

[weileong]

I used another 100 litres tank to change water

[shoelevy]

actually

if u go get good salt like coral marine....the salt already has dechlrinator

[iori_del]

woh tat is a good solution.. thanks for the advise will go for tat brand..

[shoelevy]

u go to aqua marine at jln kayu...it has a list of the different types of salt brands and the corresponding score upon hundred....coral marine rates 100.

haha

i bought not sure 30 or 40 dollars of that brand's salt for my 200L tank so that's the price u should expect

[iori_del]

Tat is very very ex....... i am a poor an can't afford this type of price

[lightningstrike]

to save all troubles, juz get a $10 bottle of seachem prime to solve ur chlorine and chloramine issues.
