API Tap Water Conditioner (1 oz)

API Tap Water Conditioner (1 oz) instantly neutralizes harsh tap water disinfectants and heavy metals to provide pure, safe hydration for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Tap water treated for human consumption contains chemical additives that can burn delicate reptilian mucous membranes, cause eye and skin irritation during soaks, and destroy the beneficial gut flora required for proper reptile digestion.

Key Benefits for Reptiles

• Neutralizes Chlorine & Chloramines: Breaks aggressive chemical bonds instantly, preventing internal tissue irritation, oral ulcerations, and respiratory discomfort when ingested.
• Detoxifies Heavy Metals: Binds and neutralizes dissolved copper, lead, and zinc commonly found in residential plumbing before they can accumulate in your reptile’s organs.
• Protects Digestive Microflora: Prevents municipal disinfectants from wiping out the essential gut bacteria required for nutrient absorption in tortoises, lizards, and snakes.
• Ultra-Concentrated Formula: Treats water at a rate of a single drop per gallon, eliminating the need to buy bulky pre-bottled water for everyday enclosure maintenance.

Enclosure Applications

• Drinking Dishes & Soaking Basins: Ensures clean, harmless water for daily hydration, shedding baths, and cloacal drinking across all terrestrial species.
• Misting Reservoirs & Humid Hides: Conditions water meant for manual spray bottles, automated rain systems, and moist sphagnum moss hides without leaving toxic residues.
• Aquatic Habitats & Paludariums: Safeguards sliders, mud turtles, musk turtles, and amphibians from waterborne irritants during continuous immersion.

Directions for Use

• Chlorine & Heavy Metal Removal: Add 1 drop per 1 U.S. gallon (or 1 ml per 20 gallons) of tap water.
• Chloramine Removal: Add 3 drops per 1 U.S. gallon (or 1 ml per 5 gallons) of tap water.
• Stir thoroughly for 5–10 seconds before filling water bowls, misting containers, or aquatic tanks.
