how do you remove chlorine from city water using this water changer

you can add water conditioner to the tank immediately after the water change. It shouldn't hurt your fish.

You cant put untreated water in your tank- period. Tap water, settled water, bottled water, boiled water, rain water; I wouldnt chance it. I use the blue stuff, its for turtles not fish. But as for the water changer you are asking about- lots of luck using that puppy. Its a great idea and sounds easy peasy. After I returned the forth one- I gave up. Let me give you a heads up though- when you use it, hand tighten everything, even when you connect it to your water tap. plus, dont overdo, just tighten enough to stay put.

with the chlorine remover liquid just pour it in as you fill the tank. Do not take all the water out of tank .

Really!? You filter it before it goes in or add the chemical to the tank, this has nothing to do with removing chlorine! :-/

Yes, if the flow switch is not working your chlorinator will not work either. The flow switch sends a signal to your salt cell and tells it to turn on. The reason for this is so your chlorinator doesn't accidentally run and create chlorine while your pump is turned off. Replacing the flow switch is a really easy and fast fix, just make sure the arrows on the flow switch are pointed in the same direction as the flow of water. Easy peasy!

Yes this filter will remove chloramines. However, chloramines take longer to remove so you have to be sure to control your water flow. This allows the water more "dwell time" in the filter allowing it to effectively remove the chloramines. For best results you should have a regulator that limits flow to 40psi and a flow rate of 1-2 gallons per minute. If you do this, then the filter is very effective at removing chloramines.

This does not take a filter. It is a thing that floats in your pool. You put the 3 inch round chlorine tablets in it. You can also put other chemicals in it because it has a nice function where you can slide the bottom of it to where you can control the flow of chemicals. But I only use mine for the 3 inch round chlorine tablets. It is so easy and no maintenance. Just drop in the tablet and let it float in the pool.

We noticed that it changes quite quickly from green to yellow to red which means change filter however we make gallons of filtered water a day and store them in other pitchers the clear 2o pitcher is too small for us maybe thats why we are going through alot of filters already! I even give the pets filtered water now! But this pitcher works no more smelly chlorine water!

No. Chlorine can only be removed by distillation, a charcoal filter, or reverse osmosis. Charcoal can only remove so much, then it must be changed. John

unfortunately no. It just removes other sediment, which we get quite a lot from broken pipes In our city. After the water goes through these house filters then our drinking water goes through a reverse osmosis system and that runs to a spigot in the kitchen and ice maker. The reverse osmosis removes the horrible chlorine taste the house filters do not.

None. Save yourself money( a lot ) and find a generic one inch chlorinating tablets . I didn't feel that this system was worth the money. Adding fresh water more frequently is a very cheap way to keep water ph and balance correct.

I don't know. I like mine. I can smell the chlorine in the water again when it's time to change the filter.

My previous response was based on taste. I trust that the filtration process will remove the chlorine and other harmful contaminates.

i wouldn't....and use chlorine also. clening the filter appeared to be easy.

Yes, removes chlorine with just the normal black filters! use it all the time to filter my city tap water to make the perfect "berkey" water! The other two supplemental filters are for fluorine and arsenic.

We don't use chlorine. We leave it up for 2 days then empty it and wash it down with dish soap, rinse it out, then re-fill it.

Your probably fine...was it city water that was already chlorinated? Personally I would empty and refill with fresh water and treat accordingly.

I really don't think it does. If you read the description, it says: *Removes Chlorine, Chloramines, VOCs, and Pesticides/Herbicides. My concern was the chlorine since I use it on my compost - chlorine kills the good bacteris. That said, all the other stuff in city water will probably kill me sooner or later! I hope this was at least somewhat helpful. Also, I mentioned in an earlier post, look at both ends before putting it on the hose, the one that does not have the screen should be tipped up when you remove it from the hose after use because the carbon will run out.

You do not use chlorine, just the RENU2 and the bromine. It will help keep the chemicals at a normal level, providing you test the water and watch how much you add.

I dont know..but I had my Berkey filtered water tested and it had the same chlorine as my tap water so Berkey does not work for chlorine...which to me is a major problem
