Wetdog is on RUI?
I do not believe that adding organic material to the water causes the chloramine to neutralize. I have heard of nothing that will neutralize chloramine other than treatment--aquarium drops or an RO.
BUSTED!!!!:holysheep:
RIU is mostly comic relief, but there are a few serious 'seekers' in the organics section that I'll direct this way if they seem mature enough.
The organic material doesn't 'neutralize' the chloramine per se, but it does react with the organic material and break down.
Then, I realized that the corollary is, adding the water to organic material (your mix), would achieve the same result.
Then, you also need to consider the amounts. A 3ppm is like having 3 pennies mixed in with $10,000 worth of pennies. That is a very tiny number.
On the same bong load that the corollary occurred to me was when we had an above ground pool back in Fl. That thing was so heavily chlorinated you could smell it 30' away, but it never seemed to bother the grass next to the pool. Had to do regular treatments of herbicide to keep it away from the liner. The super chlorinated water had no effect on it.
I only de chlorinate for making teas, AEM, or something of that nature (I use the drops), otherwise, it's tap water all the time and I've noticed no ill effects on the plants, worms, or microbes.
