Actually fresh tap is fine @Ponky @Aqua Man told me that when I first started and I've been good . It's just a unnecessary step.Tap water needs to sit for 24 hrs. then make your water. I am not familiar with "Green Planet", someone will know though, good growing.
Some cities use chloramine still in the states. 20% or so. So you need to check with your water department first. To make sure your water isn't very hard or that it doesn't have very high chloromine. My water here is a perfect hardness to buffer my PH. And has low amounts of chlorine. I can just pour it from the tap into a bucket at 70 degrees and add the food. And put it right in the tent and plop the plant right in. No wait. And no issues. If I had poor water quality it would be different. Sometimes that gross tap water that smells like eggs that you would never drink is perfect for plants too.Actually fresh tap is fine @Ponky @Aqua Man told me that when I first started and I've been good .

You will need to use activated charcoal. The half life(of chloramine)in aerated water is about 3 days. Just sitting there does very little. Mechanical aeration will help. Ideally you would filter through charcoal. Into a vessel. Aerate. Bring to 70 F. And allow to oxygenate. Ph. Wait several hours. Readjust PH. And bam. Should hold its PH.I don't think chloramine evaporates if you let the tap sit though right? @Ponky
