About this item:
Good water quality is the key to a healthy, beautiful aquarium. Tap water contains chemicals, such as chlorine and chloramines, which make water safe for drinking, are highly toxic to fish.

Tap water must be treated before adding fish to make sure fish remain healthy. API TAP WATER CONDITIONER Aquarium Water Conditioner instantly removes chlorine and neutralizes chloramines. It also detoxifies heavy metals in tap water. The formula of API TAP WATER CONDITIONER incredibly concentrated. You only need up to 3 ml to treat 10 gallons of water.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this product
I use it everytime I do a water change or restart a tank, and it is absolutly amazing, I have had no deaths, and the price is crazy for the quantity, I boought this wondering how long it was going to last me, now I am a year into using the product and I havent even made a dent in the volume of API tap water conditioner. I am a chemist and without going into the science I tested this in lab and following the directions I found no harmful chemicals in the water after using the conditioner and letting it sit for 12 hours before testing, so that is my suggestion, add the solution folllowing the directions and let it sit for 12 hours and you will find your fish will be 100% perfectly fine
5.0 out of 5 stars Been using for years. Works excellent!
A little goes a long way. The bottle is very good quality. Use when doing water changes. I add a little before filling up my tank and pond. And then I add a little after it is done filling. I add directly to the tank. and use a fill hose to fill it directly from the tap. If used correctly your fish won't die. If they do die it's probably not the chlorine. More than likely it is from a difference in temp which causes them to go into shock. If you make sure that you're putting close to the same temp water in there then it should be fine. Works with tropical fish, goldfish, and other breeds. It also can be used for your birdbath or for use with other pets that require water like turtles, birds, and hamsters. You don't have to overdo it with this product. Just follow the directions or add a tad extra if you are filling directly from a tap. I have used a lot extra on accident a few times and it doesn't hurt the fish. Just make sure you don't dump the whole bottle in there and you will be good to go. A must have for pet owners and fish keepers!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff
I saw a you tube video that said to use this to add to the water to help your plants. It is easy to use and you can use it right away. It gets rid of chemicals in the water that are harmful to indoor plants. My plants have really thrived since using it.
5.0 out of 5 stars The best value for tap water treament
I love all of the API products, especially their easy to use test kits. This product is great as well. Regardless of which size you buy of their tap water conditioner, it is the best value of reputable brands that will treat all tap water for your pond or tank. It only requires 3 drops per gallon you add to your tank. It removes chlorine, neutralizes chloramines, and helps detoxify any heavy metals in your tap water. Some more expensive products will claim to also include things to help your fish maintain their protective slime coating (and cure male pattern baldness and perhaps ED). If your fish are healthy, and your tank's water parameters are maintained well through weekly water changes and good filtration, those other ingredients are useless. (The "Special Sauce" is just ketchup, mayonnaise, and relish.) If your fish have sores or other health problems, then find the cause, fix it, and treat them with something besides a tap water conditioner if needed.Like every other tap water treatment API's instructions first tell you an amount of the product required to remove chlorine, and then in smaller print below say to use 2 to 3 times as much to also neutralize the more toxic chloramines that may be added during the purification of your water. I don't know why the companies that make these products won't be honest and say up front to use the higher amount, and then in small print say you can skimp and use less if you want to save money and risk the health of your fish.If you have confirmed with your local water authority that they do not use chloramines during their treatment or your water, then it only requires a single drop per gallon to remove chlorine. I did not bother to call my county water authority, since I had no way to confirm that the person who answered the phone would know chlorine, chloramine, nor chloroform for that matter. from their own colon or a hole in the ground. Even if you personally spoke to someone that could tell you for dead certain that chloramines are not being used, they are not going to text you if that changes in the future. Unless you are the person in charge of that step of water treatment for your area, the only way to know for certain if your water was safe for your fish with only a single drop per gallon, is if you use one drop, then test that water for any detectable ammonia that is the treated water. The chloramines contain a small amount of ammonia. Then you would know it was safe to add to your tank without causing them irritation and inflammation of their gill tissue. It is much safer to simply to add 3 drops per gallon. More doesn't hurt anything, but it's just wasted.To refill my tanks, I keep a pair of 5 gallon plastic bottles that were used for filtered / spring water. After I fill my tanks, I add the tap water treatment to the jug, refill it, and let it sit until I need it. This allows the conditioner time for its anti-heavy metal ingredients to work fully. It also lets the water come to room temperature, since 5 gallons of icy cold tap water in winter can cause the temp to drop in a 55 gallon tank. Perhaps more importantly, the water lines in many places are old and require frequent repairs or expansion. When repairs are made to water mains, they sometimes add extra chlorine disinfectant at the repair site to insure that any bacteria that might have gotten introduced to the main are killed and cannot grow and contaminate our drinking water. While I cannot normally detect a smell of chlorine in my tap water, I occasionally notice that it smells a bit more like a swimming pool than tap water. If more chlorine than normal is in the tap water, then more neutralizer would be needed. Most Chlorine will gas off on its own if the tap water is left uncovered for 24 hours, but Chloramine will not. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. By leaving the water I will add to my tank sitting for at least a day, then I am positive that it is always safe to add to my tank.I have had people ask me before if they can add the conditioner to the tank and then use a water hose to refill their tank. I don't normally recommend this because many of our fish are conditioned to come to the part of the tank where we are standing and adding water, because they think food will soon be added as well. If you add the conditioner to the tanks water rather than to the tap water first, then the tap water from a hose will take a short while to react with the treatment additive. Temporary short spikes of chlorine won't kill your fish, but cumulatively over time, it's not good for them either. Also unless you have a hose that is certified safe for drinking from, it can leach harmful chemicals into the water you're adding to the tank. If you are using a normal garden hose to refill your tank after water changes, at the minimum you should run water through it first for a few minutes to make sure that any that has been standing in the hose is washed out.

We have 6 fishtanks and use this in them all. We haven't had an issue yet. A little goes a long way. It keeps the water clean and clear.
5.0 out of 5 stars A must to deal with chloramine
First off: I don't own an aquarium. I did a long time ago and have used this product before. The reason I bought it again is because I wanted to neutralize the tap water after filling my rain barrels. I wanted to continue using non chlorinated water for my garden, but the barrels had ran dry and there was no rain in the forecast. I filled them all up using the calculated amount for each barrel, let them set and then used it to water the garden. It didn't affect the plants in any way, other than they were happy to get some water. This product is very concentrated and did not require much per barrel.
5.0 out of 5 stars Safe!
Works great for my turtles, mine are the only ones still alive out of a group of friends each got some. I swear by this that it is safe & keeps our turtles healthy.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the water that I need for my plants
This product addresses the water quality that I need for my plants. Thus far the performance of this product makes the water the clarity that I need to be There is no odor and I feel that my safety is not in jeopardy when I use this. The appearance of the product is very nice I would recommend this for your plants water or obviously your fish tank
Tiny bottle but works well
The solution in here seems to work better than the other solution that I used to have from the pet store, even though the bottle is smaller I would purchase this again
Best Value For Money
API works great and it's a super concentrated formula so depending on the size of your pond, the bottle lasts quite a while. (Lasts well over a full Season for me)Great value for how long the bottle lasts.Fish are healthy too.
Amazing value for money!
If you own a large aquarium 200l+ this is an absolute god send, so little needed this will last a life time. Decant into a smaller easier to dose container and its amazing.
