So after having some unexplained problems with my plants I finally figured out i have chloramine in my water instead of chlorine which I believe could be causing me problems. What’s everyone using to remove it from your water? Thanks for your help!

I have both in mine and never caused any issues :man_shrugging: my water company uses both. What is the issue you believe to be related :thinking:
