Chloramine

The specifics. I keep my water in a barrel, I circulate this water to keep it from getting stagnant. If my water is treated with chlorine then the off-gassing period is very short. If its treated with chloramine what can I expect? Is there an average time period for it to release? Can you aid this through mechanical processing? I also use the "waterfall" effect to oxygenate my water. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Here ya go.

Google or the search bar is amazing.

I think RO qualifies as mechanical, so yes you can. Other than that, AFAIK, you need chemicals to bind with it. That's why they use it in water treatment - it doesn't gas off.

Why cant you just use dechlorinator for fish tanks?

Add chlorine and then expose to uv.

Chloramines should be removed from water for dialysis, aquariums, hydroponic applications and homebrewing beer. Chloramines can interfere with dialysis, can hurt aquatic animals, and can give homebrewed beer a metallic taste. In hydroponic applications it will stunt the growth and fruit production of plants.

and there are health issues.
