Length of time to dechlorinate water

[Luke_e]

How long will it take to dechlorinate the water for my water change? (i have the dechlroinator solution already).

IT takes about 1 second if you use water condtionner.

normerly about an hour.
some do say it is instantanious.

 

[yvez9]

an hour wolf?
I've never seen a water conditionner that is not instant. I always do use the 2 or 3 same brands all the time though, but it never occured that I've looked at one that isn't instant... oh well, learn something new everyday!

I just read the small print on Sera aquatan(tm) and it say allow an hour before adding ammovec(tm) and nitravec(tm) (bacteria in bottles)

others are known to be instantanious

Interpet's FreshStart is instantaneous according to their info. I just put it in as the water is pouring into the bucket, then add it straightaway.

But whats that got to do with dechlorinating water? Anything that doesnt neutralise chlorine and chloramine instantly needs to be put straight into the bin, if i had to fill a container and then wait a hour for the chlorine to disperse it would take me a couple of weeks just to do the water changes on one tank let alone 9 of them.

aquatan is a 5 in 1 conditioner
it deals with chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals and acts as a stress coat for the fish

So does Aquarium pharmaceuticals Stress Coat except it works instantly, if that product takes an hour to do the same job then i would seriously reconsider using it.
