Chorine is not a problem since most of it is gone by the time the water
leaves the purification facility and the remainder gases off very quickly as you
pour water

Calcium and other dissolved minerals are more likely to discolor you pots if
they are porous but will not harm you trees. If they did fertilizer would kill
them.

If your water has that many minerals in it you might need to repot more often
to keep the pots cleaner.

I use well water, no chorine but lots of minerals. Except for a white powder
on the exterior of low fired, very porous pots it is not a problem.
