K-meta

[Wild Duk]

I don't have Campden tablets but I do have some powder k-meta. Does anyone know how much to use in order to rid my water of chlorine? I know I can sit it overnight but I get my water straight out of the water heater to save time and propane.

Thx

Hmmm, let's see. 1/4 teaspoon is equal to 6 campden tablets. You need 1 campden tablet to treat 20 gallons of water. So, 1/6 of 1/4 teaspoon? For 20 gallons?

I suppose this would be MUCH easier in grams!

Or, you could just look at the chart!
