is this the prime everyone talking about ? it says it detoxifies ammonia is this the right one ??
how long will it last declorinating 70gal of water

Yes, this is the Prime we all use. And according to the description: A single 100 mL bottle will treat 1000 US gallons of tap water. Depends on which size you get, but it goes a long way. I have a small bottle of it that I've been using for months to dechlor a 40 gal, 10 gal, 75 gal, and 46 gal. Still have plenty left.

thanks i think 500ml will last for a while

 

[rainbowcharmer]

Uh yeah. 1 ml per 10 gallons will get you a long time. Beware that prime does have an expiration date though, so i wouldn't go too crazy buying a big bottle...

Prime never goes bad, dechlor ON! Really, my chemist husband says it lasts indefinately & will smell "god awful" unlike its' usual "pretty smell", lol. I buy it by the gallon!
