thanks..kcco
i didnt know this is chloramine comonly used in callifornia?If your water muni treats with chloramine instead of chlorine it will need to be treated, as chloramine will NOT offgas like chlorine does. You can use a variety of substances, including citric acid, to neutralize it.
Beyond that, you should expect the water to be of a high pH because many water municipalities treat in order to maintain supply lines.
...don't take this the wrong way bro as i mean no offense, in truth i thought you'd like to know when you were using a word incorrectly so i thought i'd share the correct definition of the word 'tepid'.24 hours in a bucket with no lid and the watter becomes tepid.(chloreen free)

Either way, both compounds react to organic molecules, so even if you have nothing more than some dirt to toss in the bucket, that would help 'neutralize', in a manner of speaking, whatever's being used. I would think that Canada's water munis offer reports to customers like in the U.S., too.

Pond conditioners do not work very well. Are you sure you have chloramine in your water supply? Not every municipality uses chloramine...I would check first. You might be dealing with just chlorine. Keep in mind though, that tap water often comes with unwanted salinity, metals, and contaminants.I'm getting tired of carrying out gallons of RO water for my ACT,
was gonna just throw a few handfuls of compost in the 5 gal bucket of tapwater and let it bubble for 24 hours;
hoping that the chloramines 'work away' naturally. Does it happen that way???
Just got home from shopping--
with an aquarium product that removes chlorine and chloramines...
