Question about smelly water conditioner?

Question

I have water conditioner and the brand it top fin. I opened it up to put in the water and it smelled rancid. I have nothing else to use though and i just changed the water! HELP!! can I use the WC or no?

Answer 1

yea its normal. my water conditioner, though not the same brand, also smells REALLLYY bad. the bad smell is actually an indication that its working properly.  

Answer 2

I have that brand its perfectly normal.

Answer 3

Its probably expired when you bought it. I would use tetra aquasafe it doesn't smell and its clear!

Answer 4

It's supposed to have a gassy smell.  There's nothing wrong with it.  If you call the 1-800# number on the back, they will tell you it's perfectly normal.  Not to long ago I experienced the same and call. These conditioners do not expire. Top Fin is an excellent product. Be sure you use it, your fish depend on it.

Hope this helped.
