- uxamanda 4y agoNever heard this, nice tip! I just leave it out overnight if I am removing chlorine.
- agitator 4y agoYou can also boil water to remove chlorine. Stove or electric tea kettle works.
- amluto 4y agoBut not chloramine, so if you need water that is free of chlorine and chloramine, check what your water provider uses.
- jamal-kumar 4y agoIs there any effective process other than carbon filtration for removal of this?
- amluto 4y agoAny aquarium store will sell additives that remove chloramine. Campden tablets work too. As I understand it, not all carbon filters remove chloramine — you need catalytic carbon filters. Chloramine reduction is frequently advertised as a feature.
- Chilko 4y agoCould you provide a source for how this works? I'm surprised this would work and have not found anything from a few google searches.
- ceejayoz 4y agoChlorine in water evaporates into gas over time; you can leave a bucket out for 24h or so and make it safe for aquarium use. Blender aerates it rapidly; you can do the same with a bubbler. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330203637_De-chlorination_of_drinking_water_by_forced_aeration https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330203637_De-chlori...
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoMy guess is that the blender lowers the fluid pressure by cavitation and the dissolved chlorine gas escapes as bubbles.
