[AquaticLife] Heavy Metals
The same concern could be had for the EDTA salts used for chelating heavy metals but your regular PWC’s will remove any unused salts and then if you only dose the amount needed for the replacement water, you would never have more than a normal dose of either the S.T. or the EDTA salts. I think the salts are the lesser of two evils and it’s such a small amount that is used… we’re talking a 1-2 drops per gallon and I’ve never seen a case of fish health issues related to normal dosing of dechlor products or even double dosing them… which is effectively what you would be doing if your water didn’t need the initial dose in the first place.
