Chorine* is easy to get rid of. Chloramine and fluoride are the things to worry about. my first one said "Charline is easy to get rid of" I want to make a meme of that now that no one except me will understand. I use a filters in attempt to get as much of that as possible. I try to add as little "weird" things to my water as possible. I don't even use the phosphoric acid as a ph down anymore. i use my cal mag, kelp and ferments to ph. I use two carbon garden filters in series to filter my water. Extra important for me not to be killing the fungi and microbes in my soil. Apparently where I live we have some of the best water in the country but i highly doubt that claim. That's probably one reason cannabis from Emerald triangle is so good though because of its mostly pristine water form the mountains. I've herd of people buy bottled water for their entire grow. that is not the way. at all . if your water is that bad you need RO water system.

I agree, Water is absolutely the most important, other than light. This intrigued me because I grow DWC. I recently changed from RO water to tap water because in my area the ppm is very low, around 40. I noticed my brother growers who used tap water plants seemed to thrive just a little better. If it works like it says, I’m in. The cost is literally pennies per gallon.

Pro tip...your water is your most important input assuming you have light. Every single time you touch that plant, or 24/7 in hydro, your water is the single most important factor in quality zaza. I'd be willing to wager whatever you are willing to lose that your water is garbage, like most places. Filtering your mater is mandatory. Letting it sit 24 hours is the mark of a 1990s forum hydro grower who never checked back online ever again.

Ascorbic Acid (VitaminC) One of the most efficient, cost-effective, and fastest ways to neutralize both chlorine and chloramine in water. 1g does over 30 Gallons almost instantly. Not only that Ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant (a reducing agent). When you add it to your nutrient solution, it lowers the Oxidation-Reduction Potential, (nutrients become much easier to uptake) butt shhh thats our secret. There is no better option than a 3 dollar bag of ascorbic which last forever. Anything else is snake oil. Not recommended to let water sit to evaporate the chlorine, the chlorine will evaporate but if there is chlorine then there is also 99% chance chloramine is present which does not evaporate, if left in presence of any organic material it will form clorophorm and other toxic THMs. Its not going to seriously harm you in small quantities but jone the less id prefer 0% chloramines. Best option is and always will be ascorbic acid. Only caveat is you can't really use it in DWC setups as it creates a biofilm after a couple days clogs shit out of lines. So I guess its a good bet if your doing dwc otherwise check active ingredients.

Solving one issue cheap usually creates other problems. Those branded detox bottles have more than ascorbic acid in it, they can detoxify metals/ammonia as well, i am not bullshiting simple path, but if you go that lane be prepared to find new obstacles and buy a lot of pH UP, which usually you dont need with pH neutral detoxification products ...

Depends on what you’re using, if organic or living soil and your tap water have chloramine instead of chlorine then you should use this or a similar dechlorinator but if ur tap water has only chlorine i would just let it sit for 24hrs. You should check the levels

Some people live in the past, they preach things which were right years ago, but are wrong now. Most of big cities use new versions of chlorine or analog compounds, some of them evaporates after 72 hours, some stay in water even after that. Any decent aquarium shop will have alternative. I used Ecothrive Neutralise. Good product, but expensive and available not in all countries.

Hi Bud Just a quick word... If you let tap water sit for 24 hours most of the chlorine will dissipate. Oxygen helps break down chlorine too... add a bubbler to the water you let sit for 24 hours. That's why there is a screen at the end of the sink tap spout... to add oxygen. Water seems to raise in ph when it sits... so check the ph before you use it. Good luck Chuck.
