chlorine in water
A good thought, if not totally scientific. I store all my drinking water (and water for cooking) overnight. I keep the drinking water in the fridge. Chlorine will mostly go out of solution that way. Water chlorination is an established public health measure, and a good one, but once chlorine has done its job we don't need it any more. I do not like the chlorine taste and - possibly - it's an oxidant that I may not want in my system.

I never received it. Anyhow, if chlorinated water was your problem, I would use a 5 gallon storage tank and leave water in it overnight before use. By the way, this is how I found out: we were picking blueberries at the Happy Berries, a pick your own berry farm. The water from their cooler was particularly sweet tasting, and we were told that it was simply tap water "aged" for 24 hours. Just give it enough time for the chlorine to escape, Don.
