Apparently letting water stand a while does reduce chlorine, what i read. There is a site although American explains lime in water, Graymont.

The point i was trying to make was about lime/calcium deposits in water supply, not realy the ph, which i know differs from one end of the country to the other. High Calcium Hydrated Lime is used and in some area's this is a problem, coating pipes ect in a solid lime, almost back to stone, which has traces of calcium in water supply, which is used for our torts, so they must recieve some calcium this way. I am saying this must be a good thing to use tap water. Sorry for the boring thread.
