Check your tap pH,etc. I run mine with an air stone for 24 hrs then put the nutes in and then keep running the air stone until used. As said pet stores have stuff that removes the chlorine.

Your tap water is just fine. If you're really anal about it, let it sit with an airstone bubbling overnight. Tap water has many essential minerals in it that replace what we cant thru nutrients.

chlorine evaporates...chloramine doesnt......it needs to be removed chemicaly...but really adding another chem to your water?????get distilled and substitute the missing micro-nutes...when in my city they switched to chloramine the water went to 8 .4 ph...now it has not changed...fu-it....distilled for me now.

I just use a brita faucet filter. My municipality uses chloramines, and I'm not sure if the filter gets rid of that, but either way it works fine for me and my organics. I don't do any pH adjusting either.

All tap water is different though...

Im pretty anal about what I use top feed and water my beauties with, but I have always either used collected rain water, store-bought distilled water, or more often than anything, I just use the wonderful water out of the tap-AFTER I have let it sit out anywhere from 1 day, to what is normally more like a week, before being used in any application(s)... Itz totally fine to use tap water in those conditions, but a pH meter would still be ideal, just to make sure all is well... Pun intended...
