from the same link in post 1
Aerate/Age the tap water This approach has long been used by aquarists. Fill a barrel or bucket with some tap water and let it sit for a day or two. In this way, the temperature will be close (room temp), and the chlorine will dissipate from the water. Adding an airstone or powerhead to create water movement speeds the dissipation of chlorine from the water. This is simple, cheap and very effective when dealing with chlorine. If your water system uses chlorine, this is a great way to go. There might be times when you need to add some water right away, and don't have any already aged. So that's one problem with this method. The bigger problems is that this approach doesn't work for chloramines. Thats one of the main reasons that chloramines are being used instead of chlorine. It's more stable, and won't dissipate as easily. Some report that aging chloramine treated water for a week will eliminate the chloramine, but several water treatment websites suggest that isn't always true. |
