What about using a product like Prime to remove chloramine, safe for fish any healthy bacteria in a fish tank..!?It takes swimming pool concentrations of chlorine products to totally kill off your microbes, and at the levels found in our tap water we will only kill off a percentage of the microbes with each watering. If you are running synthetic nutes and are not really using the microbes or the organic feeding cycle, feel free to use your tap water without causing harm... chlorine does not harm our plants. If you are running an organic feeding cycle, such as a supersoil water only grow, then it is important to mind your microbes. You can care for them by using only RO water or by adding back fresh microbes on a regular basis. That is what Geoflora is doing, fresh microbes come in with each feeding, so many of them in fact, that you can use tap water with fresh chlorine with each watering, and the Geoflora will keep up with things. I much prefer this type of system than the expense of RO water or after cleaning out my holding barrel a couple of times, having to deal with the sludge left at the bottom from dropping out the chlorine products to the bottom of the barrel.
