Has any one used this product or know anything about it?

It looks like it could solve a lot of problems with the unexpected chemicals added to the water from our water supply.

I've never heard of it keith...what are they doing to your water, other than adding too much chlorine?

I don't think keith has a problem with cloudy water, at least all the pics i've seen have been clear

A person who uses it lives in same are and we both have water supply problems especially extra added ammonia plus chlorine and who knows what else.
All we know is what ever it was that came through the water supply caused all the sudden deaths in my tank.

What ever they had put in or occasionally put in does not evaporate or is it removed by dechlorinator and storing for a week.

I'm getting a lot of strange deaths and a few more unhappy fish, and WCs are needed more often (although i'm loath to do it what with the drought and the fact that the water is so unpredictable)

I have heard of Flex, but never used it.

I know a lot of people recommend GeoLiquid, but i don't know enough about it to know if it is a rip off or the real deal.
I'm hearing good reports but it still sounds too good to be true.

there is less than 5mg/L chlorine in our dam, but this doesn't say anything about chloramines or ammonia levels.

It does mention THMs, anyone know what these are in relation to fish and specific compounds?

If you're on town water you may want to enquire when they add chemicals to the water to clean their pipes. This is commonly done on a periodic basis but no-one is warned as it's still deemed 'safe' for drinking.

As you can see the latest update for my water actually does not exist this is a general report and not a local area and up to date therefore it is totally useless.

The Geo Liquid I used has actually worked as to cleaning up the tank it is now crystal clear.

I used 3 measured amounts three times every second day.
From now on I will be using it in my prepared water which I store for one week.
