No really, i read somewhere that Vitamin C added to tap water will alter its composition and displace the chlorine, even though standing the water for several days outside (in the sun), will do the trick also. I kind of do this without any real ability to measure anything but figure that it cant hurt. Probably coz i believe what i read. All my washes 'seem' (subjective evaluation only) a bit smoother since i have started doing this. I use rain water sometimes but it seems a lot of stuffing around. I figure a teaspoon of VitC powder in the water a day or two before making up a wash is the go.There is other (Chloramine, i think) in the water also but it is very hard to get rid of.I think, even though the concentrations of chlorine in the water are lowish, it is supposed to impact on the action of the yeast.
Doesn't need to be outside in the sun. Chorine will naturally gas off water over a couple of days. Heating it will make it dissipate quicker though.

Apparently this changes the fermentation process, I guess it stresses the yeast and gives it a unique flavour profile :handgestures-thumbupleft: thought you may be intetested.

I don't have any science to back it up but after owning a chlorine pool for a few years I can definitely say that UV light kills the chlorine faster than heat alone, putting on a swimming pool cover makes your pool hotter but blocks the UV which makes the chlorine last longer, as soon as you take the cover off the chlorine pisses off real quick even when no one is swimming in it :handgestures-thumbupleft:
