I would like to know if there is anyone else out there who evaporates their tap water of chlorine for drinking purposes?

I live in a coastal area where the tap water contains high levels of chlorine. I do not know of the exact levels. I know that there is chloramine also in the water. I cannot afford expensive filters and I don’t want to boil the chlorine out because boiling concentrates the flouride present in the water. I know I cannot get rid of the chloramine by evaporation, however, when I let the water sit for 24 hours the taste is unbelievably chlorine-free.

I would like to know if anyone else has experience in doing this and if there are any associated dangers such as dust particles and bacteria? I use a shelf liner to cover my crock pot and a soup pot for 24 hours to keep out the dust, but it is not 100% effective.

I tried leaving the water in my crock pot on high for a few hours to speed the process of evaporation, but the end result left the water with a strange taste so I no longer try to heat the water.

I cannot afford to buy bottled water and I am skeptical of its quality.

If anyone else has experience in doing this and has any tips to share, please do! I cannot seem to find a whole lot of information online regarding this technique for human drinking water (mostly for fish).

Thank you!!!
