Description
Pond Solutions Formulation — Powder ClorAm-X®
This is the Pond Solutions ClorAm-X® Powder (all sizes are labeled (P) on the Hikari MAP price list). The powder is dosed by weight, not by teaspoon — do not substitute the liquid ClorAm-X teaspoon-based dose.
For Decades The Safest & Most Dependable Water Conditioner
Buffered ClorAm-X® utilizes a patented molecule to destroy chloramine and then removes the ammonia and chlorine. Gone are the days of hoping your biological filtration can remove the bound up ammonia before the health of your fish is impacted, a common process with most other ammonia removers. Look for the ClorAm-X® logo and USA patent number to prove you've chosen the leader and most dependable ammonia remover available worldwide!

Dosing Instructions
Important: Powder Doses by Weight
ClorAm-X® Powder is dosed by weight, not by volume. Refer to the package label and the manufacturer Product Data Sheet (linked in Documentation below) for the correct weight-per-gallon ratio for your specific application. Do not substitute liquid ClorAm-X® dosing instructions.
When to Use
Use ClorAm-X® Powder when (1) conditioning new water for aquariums, tanks, ponds, or live-haul containers; (2) after or during water additions; (3) before adding new plants, invertebrates, fish, or amphibians; or (4) for live-haul containers during transportation.
Contraindications
- Do not combine with permanganate-based (e.g., potassium permanganate) or chlorite/chlorate-based treatments.
- Do not use with treatments containing malachite green, methylene blue, or related dyes — ClorAm-X® will reduce these dyes and inactivate them.
- Care should be taken when used alongside water conditioners containing hydroxymethanesulfinates, hydrosulfites, or formaldehyde-sulfoxylates (recognizable by their characteristic sulfurous or sewage-like odor).
- Test-kit interference: Treated water gives false (high) or off-scale readings on Nessler's-reagent ammonia kits, and false (low or zero) readings on Winkler / modified-Winkler dissolved-oxygen kits. Use salicylate / phenol-hypochlorite ammonia kits and indigo-carmine DO kits or DO meters instead. Compatible with all known nitrite and low-range nitrate test kits.
- Avoid skin contact and avoid breathing the powder or dust when handling. A painter's-style dust mask is recommended for handling the 10 lb and 55 lb sizes.
- Storage: keep tightly closed in the original container away from moisture; do not return unused portions to the original container or introduce other materials.
