do those water conditioners work well

[chaibill]

do they get out the metals like they say
my tap water is from a well but has some chloramine added to it but allso has lots of iron turns shower orange i have a filter on the sink but not sure what in takes out
so i use bottled water for the fish a bout $1 a gallon

what i do is just let water sit out for at least 24 hours and our water is already pretty good(we tested it) but most chemicals will rise out

 

[chaibill]

but not heavy metals in the water like the iron i think there is some arsnic too but you think that will come out

Do a set of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH/KH tests on your tap water, before and after the filter. In most cases, there will not be a problem using it.

You will need to be using a water conditioner like Prime to handle the chloramine issue. Leaving it set out will not make it go away.

prime is a great water conditioner. now use it on all my tanks and never go back to anything other then that.
