    you dont even need to bubble it. just let it sit out. it only takes about 20 minutes. however it is better to bubble because it oxygenates water which the plants roots just love.

    i actually think thats why hydro is faster, much more oxygen to the roots. also the ph is much easier to stabilize.

    also i've grown with water straight out of the tap without letting it sit out. it never seemed to harm anything but i still let it evaporate anyway.

    I long long ago gave up letting water sit to allow chlorine to evaporate. No difference, If i can drink it, my plants don't seem to have any issue drinking it

    only time i worry about chlorine is if im doing a mycho or bacteria addition. then at that point i have to worry about chlorine, chloramine, flouride.

    Yeah, thats what I am worried about. Doing an organic super soil and I dont want to kill the bacteria and mychos. So a filter is the best bet?

    fluoride and chloromine will be the hardest to get out of the water, neither will offgas/evaporate. chloramine if not allowed enough contact time with a high grade carbon filter will not get filtered out. fluoride requires an activated alumina filter, reverse osmosis, bc carbon, or distillation to be removed. most municiple water districts will add fluoride to the drinking water due to a state mandate. (yes it is state regulation that they medicate us with fluoride in our drinking water, check your local area to see if it is in your drinking water.) here is some handy info on fluoride http://water.epa.gov/drink/contamina...n/fluoride.cfm

    safest bet is a good reverse osmosis system

    i have a question concerning tap water. i have well water that is filtered through a water softener. then we have a seperate filter from culligan that the softened water goes through, then its considered drinking water. i do not have a ppm meter. so i was wondering what you guys thought i should use? drinking water or softened water or straight well water? thankyou.
