How do you remove chlorine from city water?

Answer 1

Use the pool. Throw the kids and the dog into the pool, that'll use up plenty of chlorine. If the chlorine level is too high (over 10ppm or so) there is a chemical you can buy at yoiur local pool store to reduce it (I forget the name of it) but if you can, just wait, use the pool as much as you can, let the sun and natural process work and the level will come down.

Here are couple practical solutions:

1. Wait for a couple of days and let the chlorine level return to normal on its own. Be sure to take your solar blanket off as sunlight will help break down the chlorine (especially if you used non-stabilized shock).

2. Use a chlorine reducing agent. They are usually called "After Shock" or something similar. These chemicals are available at your local pool supply store and are usually based on some formulation of sodium thiosulfate.

The use of Sodium Thiosulphate can turn your pool water a pale green for a long time after adding it. A very small amount goes a long way. Better not to use and do the wait game. The green tint is not algae.

Answer 2

Either you get your own chlorine testing equipment from your pool shop or other outlet and do the water testing your self by following the instructions that come with it. Or you take a water sample to a pool shop that does water testing and they will let you know what is required.

Answer 3

Chlorine is a strongoxidant and it literally corrodes bio materials including germs and bacteria that can be harmful to your health. chlorine does not actually clean the pool it kills the microscopic things that grow and multiply in it. The filter cleans it.

Answer 4

To remove chlorine from water (for fish tanks), you have two options:

# 1.

Buy a water dechlorinator. Most stores that sell fish supplies will sell them also (i.e. Wal-Mart, Petsmart, Petco). Put the amount of dechlorinator recommended directly into your tap water, and it should be safe.

#2.

Let the tap water sit for at leat 24 hours before using to get rid of the chlorine. This is also a good idea because it allows the water to settle to a steady room temperature and lessen the chance of your fish getting gas bubble disease (those little bubbles that form from new tap water can form inside your fish).

I do not recommend using bottled wate because not only is it a waste of plastic and money, many do not contain the essential minerals present in tap water.

Answer 5

The element Bromine is reddish brown liquid at room temperature. An aqueous solution of Bromine would be a solution of Bromine in water.

Answer 6

The only way that I am aware of is through purification systems. I own a pur water filter and it does work very well. My city's water supply is heavily chlorinated and after filtration I do not taste even the slightest hint of chlorine. There are several brands but they all pretty much work the same. I once saw one for advertisement though that did claim to actually take ALL impurities out of the water. I believe the name of it was, " Zero Water ". After filtration they tested the Ph level of the water and it did read zero. Chlorine has a noticeable Ph level so this filter really did work. Not sure of the pricing on that one though. Britta or Pur make affordable water filters that you can pick up at your local department store today.

Answer 7

Don't add so much chlorine. It will go down in a day or so.

Answer 8

The best way to remove chlorine from water is some form of activated carbon filter.

Granular or carbon block activated filter cartridge will do the job perfectly.
