API Aqua Essential

Post by judywapner » Thu Jan 16, 2025 11:38 am

This dechlorinator was on the list of ok ones, but I need some help with the directions. It's super concentrated.

I'm trying to make 1 litre of water (a Mason jar).

The directions say 1ml per 10 gallons (38 litres)

I Googled how many drops in a ml, and it says about 20.

So my brain is doing 20 drops divided by 38 litres.

Obviously I can't split up drops, so I just did 1 DROP IN 1 LITRE of water.

I just feel weird with this TEENY amount.

Am I messing something up?

That sounds right to me.

That does sound right. Most dechlorinators made for fish are highly concentrated to treat entire fish tanks so only using a couple drops at a time is normal
