It used to be more true, when straight chlorine was what was used. Now most municipalities use chloramine, which is more stable. Most plants don’t care, but it’s an issue for fish, so there are “water conditioner” products for aquariums that remove both chlorine and chloramine.
I… Is that true? Can someone with more chemistry knowledge than me confirm?
Boiling removes oxygen, I know that…
Yup it will. In fact well before the water boils the chlorine will have come out of solution.
