A Must-Have for Aquatic Health!
Iâve been using API TAP WATER CONDITIONER for a few weeks now, and Iâm extremely impressed with its effectiveness in keeping my aquarium water clean and safe for my fish. Hereâs why Iâm giving it a 5-star review:
1. Perfect for New Aquariums and Water Changes:
Iâve recently set up a new tank, and this conditioner has been a lifesaver. It quickly removes harmful chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals from tap water, which could be toxic to fish. It ensures the water is safe to use without waiting for the water to sit for days.

I havenât noticed any signs of stress in my fish after water changes, which speaks volumes about the quality of this conditioner.
3. Easy to Use:
The API TAP WATER CONDITIONER is super easy to use. I simply add the recommended amount per gallon of water, and it instantly works its magic. No hassle, no messâjust pour and go!

Considering the price and the amount of product you get (16 ounces), this conditioner is a great value. It lasts for a long time since you only need a small amount with each water change, making it an affordable option for any aquarium owner.

Been using for years. Works excellent!
A little goes a long way. The bottle is very good quality. Use when doing water changes. I add a little before filling up my tank and pond. And then I add a little after it is done filling. I add directly to the tank. and use a fill hose to fill it directly from the tap. If used correctly your fish won’t die. If they do die it’s probably not the chlorine. More than likely it is from a difference in temp which causes them to go into shock. If you make sure that you’re putting close to the same temp water in there then it should be fine. Works with tropical fish, goldfish, and other breeds. It also can be used for your birdbath or for use with other pets that require water like turtles, birds, and hamsters. You don’t have to overdo it with this product. Just follow the directions or add a tad extra if you are filling directly from a tap. I have used a lot extra on accident a few times and it doesn’t hurt the fish. Just make sure you don’t dump the whole bottle in there and you will be good to go. A must have for pet owners and fish keepers!

Removes chemicals in drinking water
I noticed my african violet leaves were drooping without an apparent cause, but it was suggested to me that it was being caused by chlorates in my drinking water. I called and found that chloride and chlorates were in the water. I bought this product to remove those elements before watering. Itâs proving itself effective because my plants are looking better. Very simple to useâ¦a few drops in a gallon of water. The bottle size is small but you only need a little bit at a time. The water is cleaner sans mentioned chemicals, water is clear, and my plants are healthy and happier. The price is extremely fair, there are choices of different sizes, and I will buy this product again.

If you own a large aquarium 200l+ this is an absolute god send, so little needed this will last a life time. Decant into a smaller easier to dose container and its amazing.
