Can I use this product to preserve water in very large 55 gallon drums? If so, any advice on how long the water would be good for? Thanks!

I haven't used it for that but seems others do. I've read good for 5 yrs. I would research on camping or survival sites etc.

I first purchased this product back in 1999, before the Y2K scare. I did a fair amount of research at that time, and used Aerobic07 to treat several 55 gallon drums of water. I have continued to keep water in reserve in those drums, refreshing the treatment with Aerobic07 each time that I replace the water. Although I have never had cause to truly tap into my reserve, the product does seem to work well, and is a much better solution than using chlorine bleach to "protect" the water. Based on my initial research, I replace the water between 4 and 5 years.

I really don't know about that. I use it when I go to Mexico or have intestinal problems. Sorry I couldn't help you.

I'll be honest, this unit conked out in a matter of weeks - I wouldn't use it at all. It's also big, I think it would take up a lot of room in a five-gallon bucket, and not leave room for much else. Just my thoughts.

My tub is 140 gal. and 4 hours is good for me. the trick i found is you need to use a stabilizer or the chlorine will just burn off. i've had hot tubs for 20 years and this is the best thing ever. love it

We have a 50 gallon tank and it keeps the water for my very large red ear red slider a perfect 68 degrees. I image it might if you're not too fussy about the temperature being super warm.

I used in 60 gal tank, I think no problem used on pond, it work very good on my 60 gal tank water fitter.

I also use the C4 as an additional filter on a 60 gallon tank. You don't say what level of water you keep in your 50 with your turtles. I don't think you could rely on this filter to siphon properly unless your tank is full, and pretty sure it wouldn't be enough to keep it clean unless your turtles are quite small. My biggest complaint is that mine doesn't restart reliably after a power outage. I usually have to reach in and manually unstick the impeller.

Would I be able to use this in a protein skimmer in a saltwater tank that is 55 Gallons?

I use it for my 55 gallon, with the filstar L filter. There is a very noticeable drop in water flow with the heater. I would be concerned with a tank that large, however that depends on how your tank is stocked, and how often you do water changes. I would estimate a 25-35% drop in water flow. But it does work great! Keeps the temp very stable

It should help. I have a 55 gallon tank and at the time I purchased my rock was having problems with nasty looking water. It does take awhile to make a difference so be patient. The results are great!

Each bottle/package will treat 1 55 gallon drum. Alternatively, you can treat the same amount of water split up in smaller containers. Its not the number of containers that matter. You put so many drops in per gallon of water.

Thanks for your question. I think that a 55gal would be the max tank I would use it for. You would have to use it to the max adjusting but it should work fine. Good luck and have fun

I don't exactly know about 55Gal. drum, but if you store it in glass or ceramic (or even a stone cistern) then Colloidal Silver has been used since ancient times.

I use Aerobic 07 to treat water which I store in large drums, at a (researched) ration of 1 drop per gallon. I actually add just a bit more for my own peace of mind. I also use it daily in all of my drinking water and my coffee. For that, I am more generous with it than if I were just treating water for storage.

i am using mine in an aquatic turtle tank, 55 gallons also, about 1/5 full of water. It does recommend using a ground fault interuptor, but I am not using one. PS, my heaters always get a limescale/gravel build-up because they were being used horizontally in my turtle tanks, but I am told vinegar soaks will break that up easily...damaged many glass heaters trying to get that stuff off...hoping the vinegar trick will work on these.

Too much? Lol this is perfect for a ten gallon. And you have a 55 which makes me think it's not enough. That's me responding at a 2. Don't make me turn it up to a ten. In all seriousness there is not anything you can do. However, I am still honestly surprised it's too much. May I ask how?

it is sold as a 55 gallon water preserver. I have a 55 gallon container so I all the whole thing
