Default Chlorine and Sitting Time

Bonnie,

I just put my nozzle on umbrella spray and place the nozzle into the water.
The chlorine dissipates because the water through the nozzle lowers the
pressure and beings it is released as a gas moves out of the water.

I have topped off my pond using this technique for years. I know it already
has been mentioned, but I will say it again, this technique will not work
with chloramines.

Chlorine will 'evaporate' out of water over time. Anyone with a pool can
tell you that if you agitate the water a lot, you end up need more

sooner. So how long does it take? I wonder if you could 'clean' the

chlorine
out by just letting the water sit for a time before allowing it to enter

the
pond? Or maybe agitate it on it's way in?

I believe I have read here that if you spray the water into
the pond, using a nozzle and spraying into the air, that the
chlorine will dissipate.
