From what I understand it does but takes a bit longer. Also read on another forum a pinch of tang gets rid of both chloramine and chlorine. Don't know why just something I read. In any case I'm pretty sure tap in a five gal with an air stone will get rid of both chloramine and chlorine.I do not believe chloramine gases off. JK
I have a friends that live(d) in the Bay Area..they definitely have some chloramine issues..pond conditioner (tap fin)definitely does not work. These guys suggest lots and lots of carbon is the best. http://www.purewaterproducts.com/articles/removing-chloramines
If you think you have decent tap water..maybe consider a 1 part or 2 part filter for a hose connection..cheaper than RO and wastes less...and you can customize it to your water needs. Most municipalities have their water purities test made public..might not hurt to check to see what is in yours. http://www.purewaterproducts.com/garden-hose-filters
Mostly stay away from conditioners and softeners.

Either way may piss poor memory was right. JK
when you guess you might be right but when your not girls suffer. 3 min to google and get back
There was a mention of a vit. C filter that might work but no info in top link towards the bottom
Yeah, I need the filter currently for my indoor ladies but in a few weeks I'm going to start putting seed starts outside and I was trying to give them a little bit higher quality water. I've used tap the last two years outside and heard using tap is fine for outdoors -it works, but if I already have the filter for my indoor I'd might as well use it outdoors as well. I should have an RO filter no problem in a few weeks, just need a temporary fix. Thanks for your insight man!Outdoors? The hose filters are gonna be the fastest thing around for chemicals..assuming we're talking about container growing. If it's beneficial organisms we are concerned about..it would be your best bet. imho
The stuff I read about general gardening in tilled soil or even raised beds suggests that the soil itself acts as a filter and the chlorine type chems remain in the top layers, then evaporate. Wouldn't hurt to introduce teas..but ground soil recovers quickly. The only other thing I can think of is something like a Bio-Sand Filter. Been around for centuries, but it's meant to be slow(the slower the better at filtering) to provide drinking water..mostly to remove pathogens. Short of that..letting tap aerate or collecting rainwater is the only ideas I'm coming up with.
Good looking out! looks like a pretty good deal to me.Goto walmart pick up one of these..http://www.walmart.com/ip/Camco-Water-Filter-with-Hose/14504321
same exact company that makes hydrologic's hose water filter but for half the price.
