I collect rainwater through the winter months. Unfortunately, it's an insufficient amount except to water my most delicate of plants. I put tubs of shredded cardboard or collected leaves outside to collect rainwater and use as worm bedding. Works like a charm!

Most municipal water systems are using chloramine as a disinfectant. It's a combination of chlorine and ammonia. Unfortunately, it does not dissipate by airing it out. You need to add a commercial aquarium/pond product that will treat for both chlorine and chloramine. I'm a fish breeder, so I have to treat water constantly for my aquariums. I use a dechlorinating product called Prime, which is safe, effective, and really easy to use. Amazon carries it, of course, but so do most pet stores.

Interesting. Any idea if vitamin C powder would work like Prime?

Only municipal water supplies have chlorine and cloramine. Artesian, drilled, dug or a drilled point wells do not.

What about using chlorine remover like they do in fish tanks?

I use vitamin C powder which may be similar but I am not sure.
