What is dechlorinated tap water?

Tap water contains chlorine to ensure no bacteria in the available drinking water source. Chlorine is also used in pools for the same reason. The disadvantage of having chlorine in our drinking water is that if we use it to water plants, it does about as much harm as good. The same rule applies to drinking that same water, as chlorine in the stomach causes acid reflux and erosive esophigitis as the chlorine becomes chlorine gas and is unhealthy. The best thing you can do is filter tap water by way of a charcoal filtering system.

Does tap water have chlorine?

In some areas, water purification plants use first chlorine, to kill bacteria, and then ammonia to neutralize the chlorine. That leaves traces of chloramine in the tap water. This generally considered harmless to humans, but can kill tropical fish, which is why you have to treat tap water before using it for aquariums. However, as a result of the addition of the ammonia, there is no free chlorine in such tap water.Answer: In most places, yes there is trace amounts of chlorine left in tap water (used in the cleaning process) by the time it reaches a house for use.This can either be filtered out at the tap, or simply put the water in a pitcher in the fridge and the chlorine will evaporate within 24 hours. (do not seal the water in a bottle or you will trap the chlorine, use a pitcher with a light fitting lid so there is air transfer)
