Sometimes when I'm feeling ambitious I'll use 'pond' water to irrigate my garden. It's a black plastic pond shell, not earthen, and the water is pumped up through tubing and splashes back down. I figure that the aeration dissipates most of the chlorine, over time. I'm wondering if chloramines in the water would also be dissipated. And (as I'm reading my city's annual water report) I'm wondering about bromate, haloacetic acids, trihalomethanes---all of them disinfection residuals/ byproducts. Anyone want to take a crack at these? Thanks, Da-veed The chlorine/ chloramine discussion has piqued my interest. Sometimes when I’m feeling ambitious I’ll use ‘pond’ water to irrigate my garden.
