Thiosulfate basically binds the chlorine and falls out of solution. This
bond can over time degrade and release the free chlorine back into the
system. It is also specific to chlorine and does little in the way of
removing chloramines and ammonia. Amquel actually causes a structural
change forming a much stronger compound. At least this is the way it was
explained to me by the guy from Kordon that spoke to one of the local clubs
a few years ago.

They take a totally different approach to chlorine, ammonia and

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why you like this approach, instead
of thiosulfate.
