Chlorine is toxic if ingested. This applies to ducks as well as humans. Another answer: If you are talking about regular chlorinated water that comes out of the faucet (tap water)...then no. You don't need to save rainwater for them or buy spring water or anything like that. They do just fine on tap water.

Can high levels of chlorine hurt humans?
Answer #1This is a question with a paradoxical answer.Used properly, chlorine bleach degrades into nothing more than salt water, so in that sense yes, it is environmentally safe.Used improperly (mixed with chemicals which for safety's sake shall remain nameless) Chlorine gas can be suddenly and sometimes explosively released. Just 1cc of chlorine gas is enough to kill a person or another animal. So in the case of hazardous releases of Chlorine gas, it's obviously harmful to the environment.
Is chlorine harmful?
Elemental Chlorine is a highly toxic gas. It can react with (water particles of) the lungs to generate hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid is corrosive and can damage the lungs, which may later cause death. Chlorine will also irritate the eyes, and long term exposure may also cause blindness. Chlorine has strong oxidizing powers, making it harmful (or corrosive) on skin, and internal organs. Chlorine in its Di-chlorine(Cl2) state is highly reactive, but in its -1 oxidation state, in chloride ions, is non-reactive and non-toxic. The chloride ion is essential in organisms, and we consume it daily, in the form of common salt sodium chloride(NaCl). Chlorine in some of its higher oxidation states like +4 (Chlorine dioxide) or +7 (Dichlorine heptoxide) can also be dangerous.

Are ducks affected by chlorine in a swimming pool?
No, but if they swim in your pool a lot, the duck poop is going to make the water murky. Ducks and swimming pools are not a good combination. Pool sanitisers such as chlorine have no ill affect on the bird. Ducks like the pool environment as it is often a safe haven with clear water and unobtrusive surrounds. The duck droppings do have a negative effect on the pool water balance and will eventually clog the filter with the creamy white paste.
