Adding water to pond, QUESTION????

Might be a moot point. Some water companies (such as mine) do not add
chloimine to the water. Of course they still add chlorine. Been five years
of adding water right from the hose for me...so far so good.

How many gallons does your pond hold?

ond holds 5000 gallons

Mine holds 1,500 gallons, and I typically don't add dechlor to the water
when
topping it off (I usually don't add more than about 100 gallons). With
that
much water in your pond, if you spray the water in, agitating it
vigorously when
you add it, you should be ok. But, if in doubt, just add a little
dechlor
(I
use stress coat).

I do not believe (and I recognize this is subjective) that chloramines
knock
out of water as readily as chlorine does.
