5 pounds? in what form? pure that would probably dechlor a large lake!

## I have a lot of 150 GF pools and 2 ponds. Actually I would only need a
lb or so but 5 lbs would be ok. :-) It will probably last me the rest of
my life.

Only works on Chlorine... will break the bonds of chloramine leaving
free ammonia.

## We don't have chloramine in our water.

With Chlorine it forms NaCl (salt), salt will cause ammonia to be
released from many of the binders used to hold it (like the Ammo-chips
sold for aquariums ... not zeolite what is that stuff really called?)

## I'm cluless since I never used these products (Ammo-chips etc).

Anyway all this is to say...If present ammonia should be dealt with
and tested before and after use.

## There are no ammonia problems in any of my pools or ponds.
