Chlorine in water

Sorry, forgot where I picked this up at..

Chloramine is toxic to cold-blooded animals, such as fish, because it passes through the gills of the fish or the skin of the reptile, and directly enters the bloodstream.

Fish tank and pond owners, including zoos, hobbyists, restaurants, fish markets, grocery stores with lobster tanks and bait shops with fish containers, must have appropriate filtration equipment or use water treatment products to neutralize chloramine.

Chloraminated water should be treated before it is added to your tank, aquarium, pond or goldfish bowl. Carbon filters on your tank may not remove chloramine from the tap water that is added directly to your tank.

Chloramine will not dissipate from boiling or holding water in open, standing containers.
 
Tap water is fine for reptiles. certain amphibians and fish are more sensative, but reptiles do fine with it... There are much bigger things to concern yourself with.

Joefarah,
Thanks,
I've been a bit stressed because I ran out of this reptisafe sampler I picked up with my dripper. Actually got a head ache googling for more info on this.
