I just use tap water in my office in the city, plants do quite well with the little bit of chlorine. You can also just pour up the water in a pitcher and let it stand overnight, and most of the chlorine gas will evaporate from the water, if you are concerned about it harming your plants. People in town use water out of their hoese to water their vegetable gardens, and I have never heard of any problems. I have well water at home so it is not an issue to me.

I agree with Scout 485. If you are really concerned about the chlorine in the water, ( which you shouldn't be if your municipal water supply plant is working normally) just run it into an open container like a pitcher or bucket and let it stand for 12 - 24 hours.
It should then be pretty well chlorine free. I wouldn't worry too much unless you are growing something exotic that calls for chlorine free water.
Stop worrying and Good luck !

You can just use tap water. I've even heard of people using ice cubes on plants that they do not want the leaves getting splashed. The chlorine should be o.k. but you could put the water in a gallon and let it sit for a day, opened, to let the chlorine evaporate.

Use the water right from the tank,it not only is chlorine free but it has some nutrients for the plants.

I use the stand-the-water-in a bucket method for a day or so whenever I do a partial water change for my fish tank.
So if the fish can cope your plants should be fine.

small amounts of chlorine do not bother plants what so ever. If there were enough chlorine in tap water to damage plants, it would kill us. And it doesn't kill us...so stop worrying and water your plants with tap water. You are going way too far with this. Good luck

I really don't know about that. I can tell you this rain water is always best. put a barrel by a down spout and catch and save it. It works wonders for your plants and for your hair.
