I’ve been keeping fish for years and have always been told to put dechlorinator in the water to make it safe for fish, but what does dechlorinator actually do? The chlorine and chloramine can’t magically disappear, it has to go somewhere.
In: Chemistry
The stuff I use to dechlorinate the water i use to feed plants with was enzymes (tiny protein molecules) that (were designed to?) metabolize (or catalyze? Same thing?) only chlorine, so thats their nourishment, once the chlorine is all eaten they die.
If they catalyze, it means they turn the chlorine into another molecule that isn’t harmful, a waste byproduct
