Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this to remove chloramines from my turtles aquarium. With it being a brand I had never heard of- I was of course a little hesitant. I tested my water before the filter and after the filter. Chloramines show up on this test as “total chlorine” (chloramine is chlorine + ammonia) which is the top square on the test. The second square is “free chlorine” which is just regular chlorine. The test on the left is before and the test in the right is after. So it did indeed take out the majority of the chlorine AND chloramines (but it did raise the PH level, the 3rd square on the test). I’m not concerned with PH though. It claims that it is good for 10,000 gallons, and I have an 80 gallon aquarium I have to fill 2/3rd of the way up every week. So when my readings start showing chloramines and chlorine, I will update this review. Overall, this was a cheaper option that having to get an under the sink filter that had to be replaced every 1000 gallons! So far I am very pleased! ***Update: 6/25/19, I've been using this for 7 months now and it's still going strong! I change my turtle's water every 10 days like clock work. I have an 80 gallon tank, and I drain, and would estimate I refill around 40 gallons (sometimes more, but never less) each time. I check the chloramines and chlorine each time. I've double checked my strips with our regular tap water multiple times as well. Our tap shows chloramines, and then once the water runs through this, it doesn't show! Still will update when the actual filter stops doing it's job. ****UPDATE! 2/3/2020, My test strips started to show chlorines, but still not chloramines. Ordering a new filter now! Lasted Nov 2018 until Feb 2020!
