INTRODUCING THE DETOX DECHLORINATOR
2
The Evolution Aqua Detox Dechlorinator is a quick and simple method of filtering
out harmful chlorine and other impurities from tap water. It is ideal for first fill, water
changes and top-ups, for both ponds and aquariums.
There’s no need to wait for chlorine to “gas-off” or to use liquid treatments. Simply fill
up straight from the hosepipe via the Evolution Aqua Detox Dechlorinator. This unit
simply connects to garden hose or rigid pipe work. Connectors are included.
Hi-grade activated carbon removes chlorine, chloramine, bromine, malachite green,
dyes, colours, humic acids, organics, proteins, antibiotics, hormones and ozone.

Please read this instruction manual carefully from start to finish
before attempting to install your new Detox Dechlorinator.

The dechlorinator can be used horizontally or vertically. Both ends can be used as either
inlet or outlet points. Please observe the maximum flow rate recommended (4 litres per
minute) and drain after use before storage if being used temporarily and not as a permanent
trickle. A lower flow rate will provide better results.

The detox dechlorinator is supplied with connectors for easy connection up to a standard
garden hose.
The detox dechlorinator can also be easily connected up to rigid pipe work.
- Screw a ¾” single union female threaded to plain female connector
(EA CODE: K82-76-22) onto each end of the dechlorinator. (Hand tight only)
- Then fit lengths of ¾” pipe into the female end of these single union connectors
as needed.
The Evolution Aqua Detox Dechlorinator will reduce incoming chlorine of 0.5ppm.
0.5ppm chlorine is the average in UK household mains water. We recommend that you
check with your local water authority. If the chlorine levels are higher than 0.5ppm,
reducing the flow will help.
