Is it safe for human use?
Since I've been swimming and taking scuba classes I've been in contact with more chlorine than I think is healthy. DC already has a lot of chlorine in it's tapwater, and combined with the pool it's half killing me.

I actually don't think it would hurt if you added a bit of AmQuel or something to your water. After all, it says right on the bottle in big letters "Non-toxic to humans, pets, and aquatic life".

The only problem is that it smells pretty bad.

i gotta think if the label says "safe for human, etc" then you can use them just fine

Hi,
With all the immersion that you are undergoing, I would
suggest that you wear your face mask to protect your eyes.
"They" make eyedrops that will help with that too, speak
with your neighborhood pharmacist for guidence.
That is probably the most sensitive parts that will be
exposed to the Chlorine. Another suggestion is that you
use extra body moisturizer after baths/showers. Additionally
you may want to use a moisturizing shampoo as the chlorine
will dry out your hair as well.

As far as the aquarium, keep using and doing what you do.
The fish will be fine.

Frank

Although AmQuel do not say on the bottle what exactly it is, Kordon seem happy enough to say that AmQuel is sodium hydroxymethanesulfonate, whatever that is. Want more? Read all about AmQuel Plus here.
