Leptopolis vermaculatus - does not soak in water dish?

[MikeM670]

I have been using tap water in all my misters and the Monsoon. I treat with Reptisafe and still leave it air for 24 hours before adding to the misting products.

Haven't had problems yet with the nozzles clogging on the Monsoon but have troubles with the bottle mister all the time.

On this topic, since I'm not up on filter systems for the home. What about products such as a Brita Water Filtration system on the home tap? Does that filter off the chlorine?

Don,

From the FAQ page on the Brita Website

http://www.brita.com/support/faq/faucet-faq/

What do Brita® Faucet Filtration Systems remove from tap water?

Brita® Faucet Filtration Systems with Advanced Features (Model FF-100) and Brita® Faucet Filtration System (Model OPFF-100)
The Brita® Faucet Filter removes microbiological cryptosporidium and giardia. It also reduces lead, TTHM, VOCs, lindane (pesticide), 2,4-D, alachlor, atrazine (herbicide), chlorine (taste and odor) and sediment1.

From this I would say no.

Here is a great article from the ReefKeeping Website about chlorine and Chloramine

Thanks Mike.

Now what about UV sterilizers and removing Chlorine or Chloramine?
(knowing Mike knows his water)

No UV Sterilizers will not affect Chlorine or Chloramine. They sterilize the water of any organisms such as bacterium and pathogens like ICK, (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis).
