Other Turtle Discussion :: activated carbon to remove chlorine

[darla1699]

Hi guys. Just wondering if the filter containing activated carbon that is attached to a faucet would be enough to remove chlorine from tap water? Or do I still need to let the water stand overnight? Can I use the water that has been through the filter immediately? Thanks.

As far as I know, they will remove chlorine and chloramines but it's probably not the best way to do it. I would let it sit or have your filter loaded with some.
