Python claims to remove chlorine?

When I read the little instruction manual that came with my python it said that it actually removes a lot of the chlorine and it implies you don't even need to treat your water for it ...

What's up with that, man?

How do I add conditioners to my water when refilling my tank?

When refilling with your NO SPILL, the tap water is being aerated, removing some of the chlorine so most tank owners will not find it necessary to use chemicals. If you wish to use chemicals in your tank, you may simply add them into the stream of water as you are refilling.

i just got mine. its still in the bag. the only way i can figure out is if it mixed air with the water. my tank is under a window by the back yard. when i water change i just leave the water on slowly and let it drip until its full.
 
You made me curious and I got the instruction book to mine and it says the same thing. I still add declor in my tank and I'm not going to stop either, I don't trust it. ;)
 
aeration of water will help speed up the diffusing out of chlorine but it won't remove a significant amount of chlorine in the water in such a short period of time.. it just wouldn't speed up the process that much IMO

i believe you should all continue using your water conditioners :dive:
 
Aeration also won't remove the chloramines that some water companies use. I'll stick with Prime.

Someone actually read the instructions...:eek:

I would not stop using de-chlorinator. To much of a risk. The water can't be aereated that much seeing how it is flowing through a hose. Most of the time as soon as I'm done draining my tank, I immediately fill. Therefore there is no aereation to my water. I have well water, I don't have use any dechlorinator, but if I did, I wouldn't risk looseing my bio-filter.

The time a Python will "aerate" the water is the drop from the end of the hose down the tube and into the tank. That's assuming, of course, you put the hose in vertically. I don't, mine goes in diagonally or horizontally on top of a rock or wood, so there would be little if any aeration.

Marketing hype, IMO, and rather dangerous at that.
