Too much Dechlorinater?

Post by AndyCrabby » Fri Apr 28, 2017 9:45 pm

I was preparing my saltwater and I added a little less than twice as much as needed for the gallon. Should I dump it out and make a new one or is it all right to use?

So you used about a cup of salt?

Mix it really well then pour half out and add water to the other half.

If you have two containers you would just make two gallons.

If it's too much dechlorinator it should be fine. It's more just a waste of money and dechlor

I use a little more dechlorinator than needed because our city water is hard.
