Vita-D-Chlor - Model 140 Tablets, 12307514 -Dechlorination Tablets

Environment

There are several powerful arguments for using Vita-D-Chlor instead of sulfur-based compounds. Vita-D-Chlor utilizes ascorbic acid chemistry for dechlorination. It is made with an essential vitamin for humans and many animals, which is known to boost the immune system in fish. Sulfur-based compounds can be toxic to both humans and animals. Vita-D-Chlor is 100% organic and is completely soluble. Other dechlorination compounds eventually decompose and may leave behind inorganics, including sulfur. The addition of excess sulfite and sulfate chemicals to our waters has always been a concern because they are known to cause oxygen depletion in treated water. Vita-D-Chlor, however, does not cause oxygen depletion and contains nothing known to be harmful to the environment. Vita-D-Chlor meets the same standards for purity as the ascorbic acid used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Equipment

Vita-D-Chlor™ is safe and easy to use and can usually replace your current dechlorination chemicals. It is most effectively used by making a concentrated, feed solution for induction into the chlorinated water via a suitable device. Vita-D-Chlor works with both pump and venturi devices. Drip and broadcast systems can also be used but do not assure adequate and thorough mixtures.

Calculations

Current data indicate that 2.5 parts Vita-D-Chlor will neutralize 1 part chlorine. Put another way, 2 pounds of Vita-D-Chlor will neutralize 100,000 gallons of water with 1 ppm chlorine. However, chemical dechlorination is not an exact science and many factors can affect the dechlorination reaction. Since each situation is unique, testing of the treated water is necessary to assure complete chlorine neutralization.

pH

A feed solution made with Vita-D-Chlor will have a pH of about 2-3. The use of Vita-D-Chlor can drop the pH of the treated water. For those situation where pH is a concern, we offer Vita-D-Chlor, Neutral. A feed solution made with Vita-D-Chlor, Neutral will have a pH around 7.5. Consequently, it will not adversely affect water that has a neutral pH of 6-8. Dechlorination with Vita-D-Chlor, Neutral requires approximately 10% more material than Vita-D-Chlor™ to achieve the same results. It is always best to discharge water with a neutral pH.

Safety

Vita-D-Chlor is the safest and least toxic of dechlorination chemicals on the market.
