Non-Chemical Bowl Buddies a fish tank water conditioner

[TXWolf01]

On one of my many excursions thru Walmart I was in the fish section and seen a product called Bowl Buddies. I bought it for a small experiment and was curious on its outcome. Its says it will immediately remove chlorine, chloromines, ammonia and heavy metals and buffers the ph probably to 7.0. The one things I was curious about is, is gold or copper considered a heavy metal and if it isnt then this product will be a faster way to eliminate chlorine in the batches after HCL/CL and lvl out ph for easier faster smb gold dropping. I would like to have any input before I start the experiment and relay and finding I have for the forum.

The wheel is round keep messing with a good tire and you may end up with a flat tire.

Sodium thiosulfate and possibility of a combination of other chemicals, sound like a good way to mess up a process.

Quite a chemical soup! :shock:
You can rid tap water of Cl simply by leaving it in an open container for 24hrs.

I like 4Metals method of just adding a few drops of silver nitrate to rid it of chlorides especially for silver processing.
