there's nothing in it that directly interacts with fertilizer (it won't bind or break them down). just got off the phone with them.

this is to get rid of chloramine then? or chlorine?

"Metabite" is your best/cheapest option. Used in the food industry to remove chlorine from municipal water sources. Just a tiny pinch per gallon instantly neutralizes chlorine compounds. Perfectly safe for ingestion.

Prime is the complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater. Prime removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia.

Looks like it would be really good to use for my aquarium. Why do I feel reminded of Jhenry...
*EDIT* I just remembered that most synthetic nutrients contain ammonia or has something that is derived/related to it. I don't see why anyone would put this in their nutrient water? Salt water should also not even be in the vocabulary of growing? Buy an RO system if you're that concerned about chlorine, or let your tap sit out for 12hr. Far better than putting a product into your plant's root zone that isn't even intended for plants...lol.

what?

That product is for fish aquariums is my basic point. My secondary point is that it has no business being in hydroponics or in fact any plant's water when chlorine will evaporate on it's own. There's nothing to back up that this product is safe or effective for plants.

You're uninformed.
