Hi Tony,

I do not like to water my trees with chlorinated water but I am also too
cheap to buy a R/O system. Chlorine is a very reactive chemical and while
it does not appear to have any short term effect I do not advise using it
over the long term. If you do have to use it try and use a breaker nozzle
to allow as much aeration as possible which will let a fair amount of the
chlorine to "boil off".
hth,
Robert

Hi. The town water supply in my town is heavily chlorinated (you can
smell
the chlorine when the hose is turned on). What effect would this have on
my
bonsai?

I have been training a few trees for about 13 months now, so I am a
relative beginner. However, I am making pleasing progress, I think, and
don't want to risk stressing my bonsai out with this water..

I actually use available tank water that I have, but want to learn about
the
effects of chlorine should my tank run dry..
