I use dpd 001 and dpd 002 to test for free chlorine levels then I add dpd 003 for total chlorine. I have no free chlorine in my water it is all Chloramine
. I'm not sure if out gasing will work. I read Sodium thiosufate works but is it safe to use on fish that will be on my plate? If it is safe where do you find it?

I have chlorine test for pool, but I am sure it can't measure that low of ppm.
I have a well so home is ok, But I am looking for warehouse to start commercial
growing.

There are chlorine tests but I don't know if they will tell you the difference between chlorine and chloramine.

Call your water utility or authority. They have to be able to tell you what they use in the water. Ask for the water report.
Of course if you go adding ammonia to chlorinated water, you will probably create some chloramines yourself so you should always make sure to outgass chlorine in a new system (let it pump around and bubble for several days) before you add ammonia for fishless cycling or before you add fish.

is there a test out there for Chloramine?

Chlorine can be outgassed by putting the water in a barrel in the sun or bubbling air through it.
Chloramine is another story.

Does anyone one know of a safe chlorine remover? Most bottles say “not to be use on fish that are to be consumed”.

Thanks Dave. I cannot take credit. They were my fish but a good friend did the video at his place.
