What is Erase-Cl P?
Erase-ClP is a powdered water conditioner designed to remove chlorine, chloramines, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and iodine from tap water and aquarium water.

What does Erase-Cl P do?
It neutralizes harmful compounds commonly found in tap water and can also detoxify ammonia and nitrite in aquariums, helping protect livestock.

How is Erase-Cl P different from Erase-Cl?
Erase-ClP is the powdered, more concentrated and economical version of Erase-Cl. It is commonly used for large aquariums, systems, or maintenance of multiple tanks.

Is Erase-Cl P safe for fish, corals, and plants?
Yes. When used as directed, it is safe for all marine and freshwater aquarium inhabitants.

When should I use Erase-Cl P?

• When preparing tap water for water changes
• When chlorine or chloramine is present
• When ammonia or nitrite is detectable
• During emergency parameter spikes
• When maintaining large systems or servicing multiple aquariums

Can Erase-Cl P be used during high ammonia or nitrite situations?
Yes. It can be used to temporarily detoxify ammonia and nitrite, helping reduce stress on livestock while biological filtration stabilizes.

Does Erase-Cl P replace biological filtration?
No. It is a temporary solution and should not replace proper biological filtration or maintenance practices.

How do I dose Erase-Cl P?

• Approximately 1 gram per 13 gallons neutralizes chlorine, chloramines, or ammonia
• For nitrite/nitrate: approximately 1 gram per 25 gallons
• Always test and re-dose if necessary

How quickly does Erase-Cl P work?
It works quickly after dosing, typically within minutes.

Can I overdose Erase-Cl P?
No. Overdosing can cause issues and should be avoided. Always follow dosing guidelines carefully.

Does Erase-Cl P permanently remove ammonia?
No. It detoxifies ammonia temporarily. The biological filter must ultimately process it.

Can Erase-Cl P neutralize iodine?
Yes. It can be used to neutralize iodine in emergency situations such as overdosing.

Should I use Erase-Cl P with RO/DI water?
No. It is intended for use with tap water or when contaminants are present.

Does Erase-Cl P affect test results?
Yes. It may interfere with ammonia test kits that use Nessler reagents. Use a salicylate-based test kit for accurate readings.

When is Erase-Cl P recommended in the Clean Aquarium Guide?
It is used as a support solution when ammonia or nitrite is present, helping protect livestock while bacteria-based solutions address the root cause.
