Dechlorinators fall into the general category of 'water conditioners,' though dechlorinators are probably about the simplest water conditioners. Remember, though a dechlorinator is a water conditioner, not all water conditioners are dechlorinators.
Why Do I Need a Dechlorinator
Most (if not all) municipalwater suppliesare treated with chlorine, chloramine, or both. Often holding tanks for wells in rural communities, farms, and ranches are are also similarly treated. These chemicals are necessary to kill off any harmful bacteria or other pathogens which get into the water.
Though the dosages of these chemicals in the water supply are low enough that they are not harmful to land animals (including people, dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, etc) or house plants, they are high enough to cause damage to your biological filter. This damage will allow ammonia to start to build up in the tank, eventually becoming harmful to your fish. For this reason it is important that you treat your water to remove chlorine with an appropriate dechlorinator before you add it to your tank.
