The canisters scare me. I have had two members of our watergarden club have
the filters fail and kill fish. If you are going to use them, then you
really need a chlorine test kit and check the outflow frequently to see when
it is full and stops working. In one case, it was like it started in
reverse. The water coming out of the filter had a higher chlorine level
than the water going into the filter. It read as high safe for a swimming
pool.

I bought one of those filters that use a cannister filter-the kind you
mount under the kitchen sink. Got 1 at Wally World for 27 bucks, with the
chlorine cartridge, added a couple parts to adapt to hose, and a valve, and
a shower head (just in case). About 36 bucks, but replacement cartridges
are only 7 bucks. Made a stand for it, works great! Also use for Mama's
"sensitive" plants.

I have a 3000 gallon pond that I normally top off using my well water. The
house is on city water, the well pump quit after 17 years and it is
getting replaced. I need to top off the pond with about 200 gallons of
water. Anyone else here ever buy a applicator for fertilizer that goes on
the end of hose , mix the appropriate amount of water and dechlorinater in
the jug and top off there pond? I am doing it as I write this, I actually
put twice the required amount of dechlorinator in the jug and put enough
for 2500 gallons at the intake of the pump to spread it around. How do
other people deal with this when you use city water?
