Product Review -Neon Water Conditioner

Neon Water Conditioner (7in1 multipurpose water conditioner)
The liquid is yellowish in color


I have stumble upon this so called 7 in 1 water conditioner and decided to give it a review on one of our Malaysian product. The Neon brand is not very well know in the local scene because not many LFS carry them and one more thing they are "Made in Malaysia". Hobbyist tends to have a negative perspective about local products. One of the shopkeepers told be that the margin of Neon and Nika products are low, thats the reason of them not carrying it.
To tell the truth I was not aware of this 7 in 1 water conditioner until my friend, Erin recommended the product to me. I myself never heard of this brand so I decided to give it a try.
Below is the description given in its leaflet

Neon Water Conditioner

(7 in 1 multipurpose conditioner)
This water conditioner when added to the aquarium, will detoxifies ammonia, removes chlorine, chloramines and heavy metal instantly. Dosage may be repeated weekly, thereby reducing the frequency of water change. It can also protects slime coat on fish, inhibits growth of harmful bacteria and promotes healthy gill function. In can be used for fresh and salt water aquarium.

As for the Directions for use on the bottel.
Add 1ml of Neon Water Conditioner to every 10 liters (2.7 US gallons or 2.2 UK gallons).

The price I got this was less than RM10 (it was on promotion) for a 500ml bottle. Looks like it can treats 5000 liters.


normal tap water - chlorine is detected (yellowish) With Neon Water Conditioner- no chlorine detected

As for the test:
chlorine test -
It does remove chlorine as claimed
pH test -
Before -pH 7 After - pH7 (does not affect the pH of water)
Other tests not conducted.

Conclusion:
Nice product with so many functions and cheap. It is definitely worth a try. Could improve alot on its packing. It really looks like a homemade product with no address or telephone. Even with a better website or product leaflet.
