Dechlorinate water for Microbe Brew in coco?

I use tap water and I grow in coco. Should I worry about dechlorinating my water if I use microbe brew? Should I dechlorinate all my water to keep microbe life alive in the root zone? If it helps I'm using GH Flora series as well.

Thank you!

I know a lot of excellent growers who do not dechlorinate their water ever-it's not necessary, but I do it. I use ascorbic acid to dechlorinate-I just throw about 1/8 of a teaspoon in a 5 gal bucket and it works very quickly. I just bought 1 lb of it on amazon for $12-which lasts me about 1.5 years. 1 teaspoon will dechlorinate a bathtub full.

I've made sourdough starter with water straight from the tap. It didn't kill off the wild yeast it's not going to kill anything from that Microbe Brew.

Are you talking about Fox Farms bottled product? If you are just get a bag of EWC and soak a little in water overnight. You'll have basically the same thing.
