I'm looking to reduce chemical exposure. What is the chemical inside the tank?

Water is what you put in the tank. This is the best iron my wife has used in 65 years.

Help me understand the question. The tank is made of plastic and I just put distilled water in it. Electricity heats it up and there is no anti-stick on the face plate. there are no chemicals involved. Hope that helps!

There are no chemicals involved as far as I know, remembering of course that we live in a plastic world.

I returned it because of the chemical load that it contains. I think there are other less toxic options which don't pollute the environment.

I just adjusted the variable flow valve till the material in the chamber just started to slightly agitate.Too much flow will break down the media and probably blow it out of the reactor and into your tank

I just attended a seminar from the guys that do the show "Tanked" on Animal Planet. They recommend (if additional filtration is needed) an outside filter that sits adjacent to the tank. These supposedly provide much more thorough filtration than an in-tank system, and dramatically cut down on the biomass debris from food that can cause algae bloom and fish kills.

Chlorine is the most important and this product is excellent. Get the test strips which tell you what you need. Other chemicals that you will need are PH increaser/decreaser and alkalinity increaser/decreaser. Test often and follow the colors.

i read that seachem purigen can also be ruined if you use dechlorinators that have slime coat agents in them, like aloe and other slimy stuff. like API Stress coat - you cant put that in your tank if you are using purigen or other polymer resin type stuff and it also ruins certain other medias like DeNitrate by coating or clogging it up.

95% Ethanol (denatured) is best. You can get it at paint stores and Home Depot etc. 90% isopropyl is ok but smells like doctor's office. Don't use kerosene, Coleman fuel, or gas of any kind. It's hazardous.

I can't answer that definitively, but I would only put fish in it during a tank cleaning, not for any longer than that. As for food, I would feel comfortable putting packaged items into it, but not just placing food directly into it. Like I said, I have no knowledge of the chemicals, etc. I'm just giving my opinion. I only use them for clothes and documents, so that has not been a concern of mine. I'm sorry I can't offer you any direction!

use purified water cheap enough at less then a dollar per gal, no buildup no powder all over everything standard tap water is so full of chemicals

Make sure u never mix bleach and ammonia.. It will create chloramine vapor, and possibly hydrazine .. both highly toxic.. They shouldn't even be stored in the same area's together..

Hi Pat, I have no idea whats inside that bottle but it sure smells toxic, that's why I wrote what I thought to be humorous "Don't drink!"I will say this it does seem to work, I think my softener cycles a bit less often. And by the way I believe Norm is correct the Iron out will do the same thing, but as always I'm sure the people from ResCare would say their stuff is the best. Give it heck, Dennis

Plastic silicon. Which is one of the safer plastics.Even w/o the little clear sheild on top it doesn't seem to leak much.

Super easy care! Clean with a cotton swab. I think it says u can use vinegar to sit for a little in the tank but I haven't needed to. Very easy. I use distilled H2O BC I have very hard well water.

The water tank is Polypropylene. Which is generally considered a very good chemical resistant material. It is certainly not cheap plastic.The instruction manual says the following for material: Cap; Porcelain; Base; ABS; Sink; PP; O-Ring; Silicone; Lens; PC.I don't know what essential oils you will be using but I suspect it will be fine with most normal essential oils. Some experts will say that citrus essential oils such as lemon and orange should not be used in a plastic container. But as I said, polypropylene is a tough, chemical resistant material and should be able to easily stand up to dilute citrus oils. The water tank is Polypropylene.

It's made with petroleum distilates. Apply in ventilated area, avoid breathing it.
