I have read that it is harder to remove chloramine from tap water but what methods do you use to remove chlorine or chloramine or both of those from your tap water? I have been letting the water sit out a few nights before using it to water the plants but I am going to start using a 5 gallon bucket to let the water sit in it.

I am able to smell the chlorine smell in the tap water and the water seems to have a lower chlorine smell after it sits out a few days on there.

Do you use a air bubble pump? How big? Does it need to be in the dark on there?

I read about using ascorbic acid vitamin c powder to neutralize the chlorine or chloramine in water. That sounds like it would be the easiest way to do it. How many of you do that? How much do you use per gallon on there for it?
 
I've always just let my water sit for 24-36 hours to de-chlorinate, seems to work just fine!
 
Thanks. I think my tap water may have chloramine in it which I have read letting it sit out does not remove the chloramine in it. I was thinking maybe I would let it sit out and remove at least some of the chlorine then use it and that would be better than removing none of it though the more I think about it the more I think I may use ascorbic acid vitamin c powder on it.
 
Your tap water doesn't have both chlorine and chloramine. It's either or.
 
Thanks. I think I may try the ascorbic acid vitamin c powder then for it on there.

I use a bubbler tied to a submersible pump in my 55 gallon water barrel with the lid cracked. So far so good
