Historically, the drinking water industry has used specific sulfur-based compounds to
neutralize chlorine. These reagents include sodium thiosulfate, sodium bisulfate and
sodium metabisulfite. However, during dosing applications, these "good-old-boy
chemicals" can present distinct health hazards to the waterworks operator and/or the
fish that occupy nearby streams.
Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid (and later, sodium ascorbate) was discovered to
be an effective neutralizer of oxidants such as chlorine. Vitamin C is just as effective,
and in many important ways, better than other sulfur-based chlorine neutralizers.
Vitamin C offers an important advantage
by synergistically boosting the immune system of fish while simultaneously removing toxic
disinfectant dangers from their sensitive habitat.
