    Chlorine Dioxide

    Does Chlorine remover remove Chlorine Dioxide?

    Is Chlorine Dioxide harmful to fish at a rate below 5 ppm?

    Hi Ryan,

    Never even heard of the stuff but I've just looked at Prime, probably one of the best on the market, and there is no mention of it on the bottle. I had to do a Wikipedia search on it and the info goes back to the 40's and 50's and it was used as a disinfectant for water supplies. Do you have that in your water on the Gold Coast? Sounds like it's a lot more effective than Chlorine and it was used in the states after the anthrax attacks in 2001 to clean up buildings. Not a lot of use to your question but where are you getting this stuff from?

    Yeah chorline dioxide is a highly active oxidising agent which is fantastic for cleaning pathogens in my water supply for my nursery

    Chroline dioxide is a simple mix of hydrocholric acid as a activartor and a product called vibrex

    its very good because unlike chlorine it does not react with organics (ie floating bit's of leaves and dirt etc etc) and it is not pH sensitive

    if i can remove the C/D with prime i can use my big irrigation pump to run a reveres osomis unit which i have yet been unable to run

    then i can think about bringing my bore water down from a EC level of about 2800
