I have Chloramine in my water how can I water my potted plants without them dying?

Question

potted plants and bad water

Answer 1

My problem also -
I fill up old, empty milk containers (1 gal plastic, with handles) from the tap - and let them sit open (at least 4 days), to 'aerate' out the chemicals (we have bromine, also) before using on the plants. Depending on how many you have (indoors) - I have 8 - you can adjust the number of containers, accordingly. I keep 4 ready to go - each week. Sometimes the water smells so chemically tainted that I fill more containers to water my potted plants outdoors, too.
So far, this system has worked well, and I don't have yellowing leaves any more. . .
