Needed tap water conditioner for my koi pond. Hopefully this stuff is fine. It either works or it doesn't. adding this doesn't show visible changes. It does what it is supposed to or it doesn't. If you're fish seem fine after partial water change, then it works. Only way to be sure is to test water. I am trusting the product for the most part.
