Travis T Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I noticed that the new Aquarium Co-op strips test for chlorine, my question is, does that include chloramines as well? Im assuming that they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'd say since chloramine contains chlorine they will. I just checked my tap water and did get a slight reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis T Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yea, I tested my tap and didn't get a reading. I do have insanely hard water. I live in Palm Desert, Ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I need to test my tap with the strips this week! I have a strong chlorine smell coming from my tap recently. I think they are heavily dosing the water right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis T Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 I get a zero reading of chlorine on everything tested. I was thinking of not using any dechlorinator. Just don't want to kill anything off. Guess I will do it this weekend when I can watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A. Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I think I read somewhere (please correct me if I'm wrong) if you have chloramines in your water then an ammonia test will indicate it or at least clue you in on the possibility you might have chloramines in your water. not 100% sure on that and would love someone to confirm or squash that.
