Chloramine

I know that Chlorine needs to be removed from my; tap water, I do this by filling up about 25 gallons of water in my grow room and letting it sit for a few days, then when that is just about used up I refill it before the next watering and it has been working well for me, however I never stopped to think about what the Chloramine is doing to my plants? any Ideas or constructive feed back is much appreciated. - Doom

You mention both chlorine and chloramine. I don't think they'd use both.
Which is it?

From my understanding both are used in tap water, letting the water sit gets rid of chlorine but not chloramine

Chlorine is easily removed by oxygenation . Cholramine which is a mix of chlorine and ammonia can be removed several ways.
Last one I recall was UV and over-chlorination then oxygenation.

I thought it was one or the other, you've verified that from your water company?
