We have a Berkey filter for our drinking water - the two ceramic filters and the flouride/arsenic lower add-on filters. I do not trust municipal drinking water, but I'm not inclined to trust Reptisafe either. (If that mfr. can't make a reliable thermometer, why should I trust them with the animal's drinking water?)
Chlorine should evaporate in 24 hours, Chloramines won't. My understanding is that some water treatment plants will use one or the other depending on the time of year. I use Prime by Seachem for fish. It binds both the chlorine/chloramines and any ammonia that the cycled tank doesn't convert. Not suggesting that off-label use, I wouldn't do it. If I lived in a place where I was that concerned (I lived in one place that had horrible water, a bunch of yahoos were in charge of the plant, and they got in trouble for fixing the test results), I'd get bottled water. READ the label! Not all are equal.
If you live in an area with little pollution, maybe try rain water?
