Aerating Water for Organic Grow.

I was filtering my water with a Brita water filter and using an aquarium airstone to aerate the water.
Now I have 25 x 3 gallon pots so filtering is out of the question due to time constraints.
But I still aerate the water in a 2 gallon (9litre) bucket.
Is this helpful in supplying more oxygen to the roots or am I wasting my time?

very useful. I know it can be difficult with that many plants, but there are plenty of tools out there that should be easy fixes. I also aerate my water...even if that's just shaking it before I water.

I usually just let the water sit out for a day or two and add h2o2, but aerating the water would probably speed up the dechlorination so I wouldnt call it a waste of time

I used to leave the water outside to let the chlorine dissipate but I read the oxygen also goes,
I guess the H2O2 would fix that but doesn't it kill the benificial organisms as well?
