Water Primer™ is designed to remove/detoxify Ammonia, Chlorine, Chloramine, Nitrite, Nitrate & Heavy Metals that may cause harm to your aquarium. Chlorine & chloramine are present in tap water, while ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are by-products from fish waste & organic decay. These can cause harm and even death to your aquarium’s inhabitants at high concentrations. Water Primer™ renders tap water safe for use in aquariums and can potentially save your aquarium from a wipe out due to an ammonia or nitrite spike. Suitable for these environments: Freshwater | Saltwater | Planted | Pond Contents: – Deionised water – Blend of Ammonia, Chlorine, Chloramine, Nitrite & Heavy Metal removing/detoxifying salts Instructions: Shaking is not required however, if product Is left standing for a length of time, invert bottle 3-4 times before using. For dosing directly into the aquarium – we recommend diluting with your aquarium water first, then slowly adding to high flow. For dosing into the water change container – we recommend adding slowly while mixing then continue water change as usual. For more accurate dosing, the dosing formula is total volume of aquarium & sump minus all media, live rock, etc. that occupies volume. Dosing: 100mL bottle: Add 1 drop/3L (0.79 US gal) of tap water. If chlorine/chloramine levels are high, then a double dose may be used.

Note: 20 drops = 1mL 250mL, 500mL & 1 Litre bottle: Add 5mL/300L (79 US gal) of tap water. If chlorine/chloramine levels are high, then a double dose may be used.
