Thanks, I'll send a couple of reports from my office email system.
I have several points of connection making chlorine removal an
impossibility. We just continue with much higher rates of tea than is
generally recommended. A carbon backwash filter is used to remove chlorine
from tea water. I've had a manufacturer design a portable carbon filter to
sell with brewers and am mounting one on my spray trailer for makeup and tea
water. Chlorine seems to interfere with other sprayed products effectiveness
as well. Darn things are expensive with high quality carbon but the design
should extract for several years. The charcoal will also remove other
inorganic nasties!

I would'nt mind looking at a soil and water analysis - may not have anything
of value to offer - but I'd be interested, looks like you have things going
in the right direction at least - excess chlorine is always a worry, knocks
your critter count around pretty bad - is there an opportunity to
incorporate flow forms or something like that , maybe a cascade , into the
water supply side to lessen the chlorine. If you want to send stuff off list
thats fine.
Cheers
