Hey anyone and everyone.

I live in Christchurch, and i was jsut wondering if i need to add water ager to the water? since the water here doesnt seem as chlorinated as other cities.

thankies!

In CHCH i would say so, i imagine there is a high conc of CL due to run off from the avon (i may be wrong), if you use a water purifier with a carbon block then no you dont need to add ager

Oh for real? You know how much a water purifier costs?

i would say that public water supplies would have to be chlorinated by law or regulation.

Ohok. I was just asking because you can clearly tell difference between tasting Christchurch water and other cities water.

I have only tried kaikouras water, and its more chlorine than water

But yeah..

There are four artesian aquafers under Christchurch and the water supply comes straight from the second or third aquafer without any added anything (we are conserving them for the rest of the country)

Water ager---no thanks.

My son lives in ChCh and doesn't add anything to his tank water, like water ager etc.

i'm in chch and been keeping fish for over 10years and i have never used anything to treat the water

straight out of the tap and into the tank

i dont add anything to my water

So it appears that the answer is save ya dollars to buy another tank and fish.

yup thats my answer

I agree - Christchurch water is great, as pure as. Was brought up there.

Used to show horses and its a well known fact among people taking horses to the Christchurch A&P show from out of the area usually truck in their own water as animals that aren't used to the water at the show grounds find it too cold (and pure).

Wow Thanks heaps everyone! That will save me so much money from now on!!!

Christchurch rules

I miss the ChCh water. I remember the first shower I had here. I thought I was in a swimming pool the smell of chlorine was that bad.

Frenchy

It is a bit like the pinapple chunk add on TV. God created Christchurch and gave it artesian water and greywacke gravel for fish keepers. All that was left was traffic jams and wind. Dunedin must have come later.

lol good one alan :lol:

And for those living outside of Christchurch who find water ager too expensive - you can always age the water naturally by leaving it in a bucket for a day or two :lol: :lol: :lol:

Haha nice alan :lol: :lol:

yup thats right lol :lol:

Yep good old chch water, no additives!!

I notice it everytime I go down to my sisters in Ashvegas, you can smell their water before you taste it. ewwww!

Lol do you reckon we could sell the water on trademe?

:lol: that might not be such a bad idea :lol:
