to remove or not to remove chlorine from soaking pond

[samsmom]

soon to begin construction of an 8x8 soaking pond for my 3yo sulcata. will i need to use chlorine remover or anything else in the water?

I sure wouldn't put chlorine in it. I would make it so you can completely drain it and spray it down, even scrub it and wash the dirt away and not use any chemicals in it, unless you put an aquairum filter on it.

planning to use a filter, pump and small waterfall feature!

What is the source of the water & chlorine? If its tap water, it's okay

Wasn't going to add chlorine, plan to use regular tap water and just wondered if i needed to remove the chlorine/minerals... i use tap water now in his planter dishes and do not add anything to the water but i also clean them at least every other day

You don't need to as long as that's water you'd drink yourself. It dissipates as it sits out over the course of the day, anyway.
