<p>I have gotten NO RESPONSE from my email I sent the manufacturer. Guess they don't want to talk about their product.</p>
<p><br/><br/>Keith, <br/><br/>Does the Vitamin C remove the chloramine?</p>
<p>Or the Chlorine or Both?</p>
<p>Should I letting the treated water breath for 48 hours before adding it to my aquaponic fish tank? The tank level needs to be replenished so I would appreciate an answer soon.<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/>Bob</p>

<p>Thanks for the links Chris, guess we won't be eating any of these current tilapia. <a rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Frown.gif"></img></a></p>
<p>Wonder if their offspring would be safe to eat? <a rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"></img></a></p>
<p>So does that mean all of the vegetables in my aquaponic system are also not for human consumption?</p>
