Medicated Aquarium and Pool Neutralizers 
These medicated water neutralizers are necessary to counteract 
acid conditions in aquariums or pools. For aquariums, just use one 
at the time. 
If water is acid they gradually 
disappear, depending on the amount 
of acidity in the water. For pools, 
they may be used one for each 1004 
gallons of water. They do not injure \& 
plants or fish; they only help to keep 
the water fresh and from becoming 
too acid.
