Sodium Thiosulphate – AES
Sodium thiosulphate is the main compound in most chlorine neutralizers. Anytime municipal water must be used for aquaculture, use sodium thiosulphate (or our other dechlorinating formula) for instant neutralization of chlorine but not chloramines. Dosage rates vary with the pH of the water, but rates between 1.6 to 2.6 parts sodium thiosulphate per one part chlorine should be adequate. Excess levels of sodium thiosulphate up to 100 ppm will not harm fish.

Used it to treat tap water before adding to fish tank. Worked quickly to remove chlorine without harming the fish. Followed the dosage guide and kept the water safe for my betta.

Good for removing chlorine from municipal water. A bit slow to act compared to other dechlorinators, but effective. No fish issues after use.
