Removing Chloramines
Hey DGC, first post
Mr Sweamish here 
I’ve just watched Scottys new video about watering it was great and got Me wondering if people use things to dechlorinate ?
I use sodium thiosulfate, it is real cheap and is used in water treatment. In basic terms the sodium bonds to the chlorine and produces salt, a tiny bit. With organics I don’t find the salts a problem or see any residue on the pot bottoms.
It’s used as IV also to help cancer patients.
It helps combat Cyanide poisoning.
Fun fact : Used a treatment for ring worm.. Nice!
The more I read the more great things I find about this hidden gem… or crystalline structure lol.
Thought I’d share and see what the DGC think

Vitamin c powder , a teaspoon of does like 50 gallon water so goes a long way , think it neutralalizes it in around ten minutes, don’t quote me on the ten minutes but it deffo neutralazis chlorine and chloramine

You’re right in all counts. They pump saline into me monthly with infusions. I have well water so chlorine isn’t a thing.

Hope you’re better soon.

Yeah man you guys know your stuff, there is a company that sells Sodium ascorbate but watered down and says the activitie ingredient is vitamin c which is not fully transparent in my opinion.
I posted here because Sodium thiosulfate or Sodium ascorbate are perfect companions with microbes and obviously Recharge.
Cheers.
