I have never used Prime before but heard good things . I ordered a gallon of it and on amazon and it got here friday . I just opened the box right now and it has a strong sour water smell . Is this normal ????

It's chemicals.. I would assume so. I don't use Prime though. I use Kordon's Amquel+ and it smells funny tooComment

Prime is the best stuff on the market for treating our crappy TX tap water. The smell is normal. Prime is easier and cheaper than a serious water filter system (initial purchase). It also takes up little space. Good buy.Fishtafarian- Fish are more than just a hobby, they are an obsession.

If you invest in a carbon bottle, it will save you money from constantly buying chemicals. Not only that, if you decide your hungry and want to eat your wet pet it won't taste as nasty!

You should do it! Kiko posted a half-#@$ed DIY thread (it's not a step-by-step thread) about his carbon bottle he made. He only spent about $50 for a simple carbon bottleOriginally posted by HERM View Post
