Considered to be one of the most effective dechlorinators on the market, AmQuel® Plus instantly removes all forms of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, chlorine and chloramine from both fresh and salt water.
The active ingredient in AmQuel® Plus reacts with nitrogen compounds like ammonia and nitrite to form a nontoxic, stable substance that does not interfere with beneficial bacteria and can be oxidized by nitrifying bacteria in the biofilter. Uses no sodium thiosulfate, contains no formaldehyde and is nontoxic to all fish and invertebrates (not FDA-approved for use with food fish).
Water treated with AmQuel® Plus cannot be accurately tested using Nessler's type ammonia tests or Winkler type D.O. kits. The amounts of toxic components removed by AmQuel® Plus vary depending on water conditions.
Recommended dosage is 1 teaspoon (5 ml) for each 10 gallons. This dose will remove chlorine, 1.2 ppm of ammonia, 2 ppm of nitrite, 13 ppm of nitrate. One 16-oz bottle treats 960 gallons.
