Liam,
There are some pretty inexpensive water filters that can be mounted right at
the tap or on the input to the house. They are pretty effective at eliminating
chlorine. I had problems with my rinse water bleaching prints. They started out
pretty nice and during the rinse they went kind of muddy and lifeless from the
bleaching. I had the problem when doing argyrotype, but I think the filter
would solve your troubles.
