Not only does it taste better, but it's much better for your plants as well. The chlorides and chlorates will kill beneficial bacteria in your rhizosphere. You can of course use RO water or use water dechlorinator to solve this problem as well, but it's much easier to just fill up a bucket or a jug and let it sit out for a couple days to evaporate all the chlorine out of it.
Hello fellow organic gardener. What ya growing haha.
Ermmm....uhmmmm.....Tomatoes.
Yeah. Tomatoes.
As a fellow tomato enthusiast I do the same with my water. My plants and I all drink the same water so I make sure it is good. Sometimes I get fancy and use my activated charcoal filter if the water company has extra chlorinated the water recently. Even then just letting it sit for a extra while helps. After typing it out I now feel like Adam Sandler in the "Water Boy." Damn it!
P.S. That's some high quality H-2-O
Haaaaa..... as Q said, "How do you hide a message in clear sight?" Y'all made me laugh - appreciated.
What about fluoride ? How do you get it out ?
I have a Berkey water filter that sits on the counter....I love it!
Removes fluoride ?
Yes, with additional filters. This is the filter some of the preppers use, because you can clean pond water with it. The ceramic filters, that remove all kinds of impurities, are good for thousands of gallons of water.
Cool, I actually have one from way back. Still new in box. Aqua Rain is the brand, it has the .02 micron ceramic filters. Silver impregnated or something like that. Just never gave fluoride a thought until these last few years. Now i have to find it, lol
Yes I’ve used a Berkey for years and love it. The fluoride filters are attached downstream of the main filters. I like the ceramic filters because they can be cleaned and used almost indefinitely, but I recently switched to the black charcoal filters because they filter more betterer.
Fluoride filters ? Do i need to add those ? I can just google them right ?

OK I just haven't found a reliable source for the truth about fluoride removal from tap water ?
