Is It 100% Necessary to let water that you have dechlorinated sit for 24-48 hours? I've been doing this by cleaning a few empty bottles, filling them up with water, dropping the water conditioner as recommended, then letting them sit for 24-48 hours. I'm now wondering if I actually need to do this.

Re: Dechlorinated Water
That’s not necessary! Only if you have no way of treating it, would you need to let it sit out

Re: Dechlorinated Water
Yes, I have been dripping the conditioner in the water as well, but I've been letting the water bottles sit as I mentioned above just to be safe.Danik wrote:I've been doing the drip and go with thathermiwormi wrote:Is It 100% Necessary to let water that you have dechlorinated sit for 24-48 hours?

No need to let it sit. That's what the conditioner is for.

Re: Dechlorinated Water
Most conditioners work almost immediately. There is no need to let the water sit.
If there are still harmful compounds in the water you need either more conditioner or a new one altogether.
