My Wyandotte County water always tasted and smelled just like chlorine! I
started having Mountain Valley delivered for drinking purposes. For my fish
tank, it's been suggested to leave the water in a bucket for 24 hours and the
chlorine will evaporate. The minerals are supposed to be good for the fish.
Don't know the effect on soil PH.
