Water is without doubt one of the most important factors of life! It is essential to provide reptiles and amphibians with the best possible water source. Even our tap water can contain heavy metals and is chemically treated. The addition of chlorine kills harmful bacteria and makes the water fit for human consumption, but it kills also the beneficial bacteria. These bacteria aid in the biological breakdown of organic waste in the water, in the digestion of plant matter when ingested and promote competitive exclusion of harmful bacteria. The range of Exo Terra's water conditioners is specially designed to ensure water safety for reptiles and amphibians.
