A high quality, multi-purpose water conditioner for freshwater and marine systems, Fritz Guard™ neutralizes chlorine, chloramine and toxic metals. Fortified with necessary electrolytes, Fritz Guard™ contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E. Fritz Guard™ enhances biofiltration by producing a coat over the media, aiding in the bacteria’s attachment. This is especially helpful with “slick” surfaced, plastic media such as bio-balls, Kaldness and bead media. Special buffers stabilize the sodium thiosulfate, which is naturally unstable in solution & gradually becomes acidic in other dechlorinators. Our unique solution eliminates any decomposition.

Most importantly, Fritz Guard™ adds an extra slime coat to protect your fish. The slime coat is a fish’s natural defense system. Secreted by mucous glands, the slime coat protects fish from disease, aids in osmoregulation and reduces stress caused by sudden changes in the environment. Fritz Guard™ is therefore absolutely essential to a fish's continued good health. Abrasions and wounds are caused by handling, netting, shipping, disease, scraping against tank decorations, aggression and caustic water. Fritz Guard™ aids in the healing of these wounds and provides fish with a first line of defense by creating a synthetic slime coat that performs the same necessary functions as the natural slime coat of the fish.

FRITZ TIP: When dechlorinating water derived from city water sources, residual ammonia often remains. Use Fritz Ammonia Remover to neutralize toxic ammonia prior to the introduction of aquatic life.

The Fritz Guard™Advantage

Fritz Guard™ neutralizes toxic chlorine and chloramine. Fritz Guard™ synthetically enhances the fish’s slime coat to immediately reduce stress and shock resulting from handling, environmental changes and wounds caused by aggression or disease. Added Aloe Vera & Vitamin E promote natural healing. Fritz Guard™ naturally helps protect fish from parasites, bacteria and fungi. Fritz Guard™ will not interfere with gills or imbalance the biological filter. Fritz Guard™ even discourages nitrogen poisoning during the cycle. Fritz Guard™ detoxifies many heavy metals such as copper, lead & zinc. Even very small concentrations of these metals poison fish & invertebrates by slowly accumulating in fatty tissues. The pH swings during water changes contribute significantly to overall stress. Added buffers in Fritz Guard’s unique formula minimize drastic changes in pH, creating a more balanced aquarium. Fritz Guard™ promotes the growth of the nitrifying bacteria needed to establish the bio-filter by coating the gravel and bio-media (ex: bio-balls) for easy attachment by the bacteria.
