Good suggestions ^^^
No need to waste money on gimmicks. I throw in some dirt, stir, wait an hour or 2 and good to go. Chlorine/chloromines just need something organic to react to and will be neutralized. Props to microbeman for the 411.

So I always have a full tub of premixed medium that is fully organic. I could just put a tablespoon of that into my gallon jug, shake it up and let it sit and that would make it not toxic at all to my microherd? I feel as though the water supply in my area has changed in the last year or so..could just be overthinking it but something seems to have changed.
chloromine don't go away like chlorine and needs to be neutralized with something ...yeehaw...no fancy stuff for me..

Occasionally I have used campden tablets in brewing. 1 tab per gallon of water. All they are is a specific dose of metabisulfate in a tablet form. If I must use it in brewing I use potassium metabisulfate as it is a granular powder that disolves much easier than campden tablets.
I have know about it for a long time....yeehaw
i just bought a lb of ascorbic acid, i'm using it AND compost/organic material to get rid of chlorine in the water...
now, wasup with the CHLORAMINE? any (non filter or RO) method of getting rid of it? something "fancy"?

Sounds like you got chloramine handled already. There's a ton of info in the link I posted.
I used to used similar dechlorinating products, simply didn't make a difference for organic/natural methods, and its just added cost with no benefit that I could see.
Nowadays I just let the water sit to let it get back to room temp, takes awhile tho' I'll keep my water in a 50 gallon trash can, after a few days the smell of chlorine is much less.
