Simply Koi and More Koi

Cheers Sid for your thoughts on this and appreciate what you have said. I will look into this a bit more myself and see what I can find. I will then post this and see what Duncan and yourself think.

Chlorinated water, exposed to aeration and sunlight has a half life of about three hours which is why aeration can reduce a typical tap water level of chlorine to negligible proportions in a few hours. The chloramine half life under the same conditions is about 12 days. A standard UV will accelerat...

Recently I have become a big fan of the One touch range. Have used one touch and now having great success with One touch Qxy and without having to use injections as well.It is definately part of my Treatment Kit.

Something to get your teeth into Duncan.

Anyone thought about UV as a means of removing chlorine from tap water and if so what units would you recommend . I appreciate that you would need to change the UV bulb but I seem to be changing filter cartridges far too often. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
