Does water dechlorinator expire?
I have noticed that my water dechlorinator chemical is giving off a strong sulfer smell. The smell also goes to any water it is used on. When I bought the dechlorinator over a year ago the sulfer smell from it wasn't so bad.. This smell combined with the fact that it is very hot whare I live make me think the chemicals in it have degraded.

Any thoughts?

I used to use Aquasafe but started having strange ammonia readings in my tanks. After much ado I figured out that something had gone wrong with my Aquasafe and I was basically adding pure ammonia to each water change! It turned brown and smelled funny also. Needless to say, I changed dechlorinator brands. The Aquasafe was NOT past the expiration date.
