Then hmmm thereās nothing on the market that Iām aware of to test these chlorine or chloramine for this hobby beyond commercial so I doubt that it tests chlorine or chloramine. Iām not saying they couldnāt have but Iām pretty sure thereās nothing during the time frame you are describing. Hobbyists been looking for more tests and some of those just arenāt available for our hobby.I have no idea it's orange and black it's a few years old though.
This kind of tester does exists and are expensive but not in the form of 'pencil' :Then hmmm thereās nothing on the market that Iām aware of to test these chlorine or chloramine for this hobby beyond commercial so I doubt that it tests chlorine or chloramine.
Absolutely.In reality, there really is no need for a chlorine test anyway
Absolutely.
@bianca_m35 it is enough to let tap water stand for 72 hours/3 days and there will be no more chlorine or chloramine.
Advice from @Colin_TAre you certain about the chloramine? I know chlorine will dissipate out of standing water in roughly 24 hours, but I have always been advised that chloramine must be detoxified (using a conditioner). I don't have chloramine fortunately, so never looked into this, but just thought it worth mentioning just in case.

Not true with chloramineAbsolutely.

That's correct @AdoraBelle Dearheart Chlorine gasses off if the new water is allowed to stand for a few days before use. Before dechlorinators came into use, just about everywhere had chlorine as a disinfectant in their tap water and this is what fish keepers did then. But then water providers started using chloramine instead of chlorine and this does not gas off no matter how long it's left to stand. The only way to get rid of chloramine is to use a dechlorinator.
Chloramine is ammonia and chlorine joined together. Dechlorinators split it up then remove the chlorine part leaving the ammonia part in the water. Many dechlorinators also contain something to detoxify ammonia for around 24 hours, and the good bacteria or live plants will have removed it before it can "undetoxify"
Most dechlorinators also contain something to remove metals from the water.
Because dechlorinators contain a few different things, we now call them water conditioners.
