Commercial Hydroponic growers routinely use chlorine down their lines to get rid of algae and other nasties.I might add in high concentrations nothing like the levels found in tap water.Fluoride Bromine and others, are on the other hand, damaging to the plants and most water filters do not remove these. Also Tap water has ton's of micro nutrients that are lacking in rain water that's because it comes from the soil. When you add up the plus and minuses tap water is not so bad.

you can use declorinator for fish tanks, I did that for my aeroponic containers and had no more trouble with brown roots it only cost me $3 from petsmart, and it doesnt harm the ph

could i just use distilled water?

@Jksax914 ya it happened to me it sucked lol
Is rain water really a good idea to use in hydro? You may be setting yourself up for disaster unless youre gonna purify it somehow before using it.

@meentree2009 I started out using rainwater because my tap water was so high in chlorine and ph but the rainwater did cause me some problems. I now have a hydrofarms filtering system which I use for all my water and I love it. Thanks for the comment.

@clownbow1 Thanks for the heads up. I havent had the roots grow into there yet but I can see the slot your talking about. I'll have to find some replacement stones. Thanks again.
