Hi Ann,
Long time since I've been here! Hadn't you moved away from Houston?
Anyway, it might have been my post? When I had city water with
chlorimine in it, I used to attach a water filter to the end of my
garden hose and just let it trickle through the filter to add water.
Not the cheapest solution, but I hated adding chemicals and having to
guess at how much to chemical to add unless I was willing to measure
how many gallons I had added, etc. Here is a link to a similar
filter:
