The API TAP WATER CONDITIONER Aquarium Water Conditioner is an outstanding product that truly lives up to its promises. As an avid aquarium enthusiast, I have used various water conditioners in the past, but this one has left a lasting impression on me.
First and foremost, the 16-ounce bottle offers great value for money. The product lasts a long time, as you only need to use a small amount for each treatment. This means you won’t have to constantly repurchase, making it an economical choice.
One of the standout features of this water conditioner is its ability to effectively neutralize harmful chemicals, like chlorine and chloramines, found in tap water. These substances can be detrimental to the health of your fish and other aquatic organisms. The API TAP WATER CONDITIONER successfully removes these harmful elements, providing a safe and healthy environment for your aquatic pets.
Moreover, this conditioner goes beyond just removing harmful chemicals. It also includes a beneficial amount of stress coat, which helps to ease stress and promote the healing of damaged fish tissue. This is particularly helpful when introducing new fish to your aquarium or during water changes. I have noticed an improvement in the overall health and vitality of my fish since I started using this conditioner.
Additionally, the API TAP WATER CONDITIONER does not impact the pH level of the water, ensuring a consistent and stable environment for your aquarium inhabitants. This is crucial for the well-being of sensitive species that require specific pH ranges.
The product is easy to use, with clear instructions provided on the packaging. Simply add the appropriate amount of conditioner to your water during water changes. The liquid formula mixes quickly and doesn’t leave any residue or odor behind.
Overall, I highly recommend the API TAP WATER CONDITIONER Aquarium Water Conditioner. It offers great value for money, effectively removes harmful chemicals, promotes fish health, and maintains a stable pH level. With this water conditioner, you can ensure the well-being of your aquatic pets and create a thriving aquarium ecosystem.

There’s nothing extraordinary about this conditioner. It’s just water conditioner. I use it for my reptiles’ water as it’s the same thing, just cheaper when there’s a goldfish on the bottle instead of a turtle. Works great, will buy again when I run out.

I love all of the API products, especially their easy to use test kits. This product is great as well. Regardless of which size you buy of their tap water conditioner, it is the best value of reputable brands that will treat all tap water for your pond or tank. It only requires 3 drops per gallon you add to your tank. It removes chlorine, neutralizes chloramines, and helps detoxify any heavy metals in your tap water. Some more expensive products will claim to also include things to help your fish maintain their protective slime coating (and cure male pattern baldness and perhaps ED). If your fish are healthy, and your tank’s water parameters are maintained well through weekly water changes and good filtration, those other ingredients are useless. (The "Special Sauce" is just ketchup, mayonnaise, and relish.) If your fish have sores or other health problems, then find the cause, fix it, and treat them with something besides a tap water conditioner if needed.
Like every other tap water treatment API’s instructions first tell you an amount of the product required to remove chlorine, and then in smaller print below say to use 2 to 3 times as much to also neutralize the more toxic chloramines that may be added during the purification of your water. I don’t know why the companies that make these products won’t be honest and say up front to use the higher amount, and then in small print say you can skimp and use less if you want to save money and risk the health of your fish.
If you have confirmed with your local water authority that they do not use chloramines during their treatment or your water, then it only requires a single drop per gallon to remove chlorine. I did not bother to call my county water authority, since I had no way to confirm that the person who answered the phone would know chlorine, chloramine, nor chloroform for that matter. from their own colon or a hole in the ground. Even if you personally spoke to someone that could tell you for dead certain that chloramines are not being used, they are not going to text you if that changes in the future. Unless you are the person in charge of that step of water treatment for your area, the only way to know for certain if your water was safe for your fish with only a single drop per gallon, is if you use one drop, then test that water for any detectable ammonia that is the treated water. The chloramines contain a small amount of ammonia. Then you would know it was safe to add to your tank without causing them irritation and inflammation of their gill tissue. It is much safer to simply to add 3 drops per gallon. More doesn’t hurt anything, but it’s just wasted.
To refill my tanks, I keep a pair of 5 gallon plastic bottles that were used for filtered / spring water. After I fill my tanks, I add the tap water treatment to the jug, refill it, and let it sit until I need it. This allows the conditioner time for its anti-heavy metal ingredients to work fully. It also lets the water come to room temperature, since 5 gallons of icy cold tap water in winter can cause the temp to drop in a 55 gallon tank. Perhaps more importantly, the water lines in many places are old and require frequent repairs or expansion. When repairs are made to water mains, they sometimes add extra chlorine disinfectant at the repair site to insure that any bacteria that might have gotten introduced to the main are killed and cannot grow and contaminate our drinking water. While I cannot normally detect a smell of chlorine in my tap water, I occasionally notice that it smells a bit more like a swimming pool than tap water. If more chlorine than normal is in the tap water, then more neutralizer would be needed. Most Chlorine will gas off on its own if the tap water is left uncovered for 24 hours, but Chloramine will not. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. By leaving the water I will add to my tank sitting for at least a day, then I am positive that it is always safe to add to my tank.
I have had people ask me before if they can add the conditioner to the tank and then use a water hose to refill their tank. I don’t normally recommend this because many of our fish are conditioned to come to the part of the tank where we are standing and adding water, because they think food will soon be added as well. If you add the conditioner to the tanks water rather than to the tap water first, then the tap water from a hose will take a short while to react with the treatment additive. Temporary short spikes of chlorine won’t kill your fish, but cumulatively over time, it’s not good for them either. Also unless you have a hose that is certified safe for drinking from, it can leach harmful chemicals into the water you’re adding to the tank. If you are using a normal garden hose to refill your tank after water changes, at the minimum you should run water through it first for a few minutes to make sure that any that has been standing in the hose is washed out.

When doing water changes in my large tanks, I generally just use two or three good words of this in a 5 gallon bucket and I’ve never had a problem for years using this API dechlorinator. I have never had a problem and would definitely recommend to fish tank owners of any breed. Our water here in Houston is very hard and full of TDS, but this dechlorinator seems to overcome those problems, and it has been my go-to decorator for years and is able to treat over 9,000 gallons which gives me confidence in the concentration of the decorator and has an excellent value for the money!

very concentrated so somewhat hard to use in smaller fish tanks due to such small required volumes.
