Paloma Creek South, TX tap water
Supplied mostly by Denton County Fwsd 11-A, plus 3 other utilities. Here's what the water means for your fish.

Chloramine
Your water is treated with chloramine. Unlike chlorine, it doesn't gas off when water sits out, and many pitcher and fridge filters aren't rated to remove it. Conditioners that list chloramine on the label break it apart, which frees a little ammonia. Some utilities switch to plain chlorine for a few weeks a year.
