I'm going to agree that citric acid is not your best choice, or most
effective method, of removing chlorine. Tom has that right. Citric acid
works only if you know how much chlorine you are working with in your water,
and you add enough to neutralize the chlorine in your water, which can be
quite variable.

So, probably not the best approach, especially if you live in Las Vegas with
some of the highest chlorine levels in their water that I've ever
experienced.

Although water in Toowomba and Brisbane is even more chlorinated. Blak.
Bottled water is the only way to go here!

Or beer! Tohey's old!
