Just been trying to find out whether chlorine or chloramine is in my local tap water (it's chloramine )
Unlike chlorine, chloramine doesn't evaporate so bubbling or leaving out achieves nothing.
Anyway, the last time I tried to find out the water company was extremely cagey (freedom of information requests put in etc)
But it seems the secret is out, as I found it on this list of UK water suppliers and chlorine/chloramine results on a fishing forum

There are additives for aquarium water to neutralize it..it's good enough for fish and aquatic plants so I figure they're good enough for my plants
And reverse osmosis does the trick I think....
I wish it would rain and fill my water butt ....
