I think you might have it confused with Silver Thiosulfate (STS) which can be used to make pollen on female plants.
EDIT: oh I see now the Silver Thiosulfate is made with the Sodium stuff.

Duh! I just realised you put a link in your post. Gotcha. Probably worth a whirl. Just to note: when you put chlorine and ammonia together it makes chloramine, so there isn't likely to be any free chlorine or ammonia in the water. The water companies inject chlorine and ammonia into the water supply knowing that they will react to make chloramine. The reason they do this, instead of just free chlorine, is because chloramine is more persistent and will be antibacterial for much longer. The only downer to that is, when we growers want purer water we have to deal with it.I'd just be repeating what's on the amazon page

Thanks so much for the quick reply!This filter should work just fine for you.
Can a 500mg tablet of vitamin C + zinc overdose your plant if I am using a half a five gallon pail? I am so scared to water today now @Emilya because I just read you said it will fix a bathtub full.Just a quick point.
Make sure it isn't sodium thiosulfate. This is toxic and is the main ingredient in aquarium dechlorinators.
I think API uses it. I'd have to check the msds.
These dechlorinators usually say that they are for ornamental fish. This means not for Aquaponics or fish farming or anything edible.
Vitamin C is your friend here. I think it is a 50 mg tablet will dose a 5 gallon bucket. This is what greenhouses, aquaponics, hydroponics and water treatment plants use. It is safe and your plants can use the vitamin C. They don't need the extra sodium regardless.
Vitamin C will break the ammonia bonds of chloramines and detoxify the chlorine.
Vitamin C is also cheaper.
Happy growing.
... There are Campden tablets made with sodium metabisulphite which should be avoided.
