hi, this is post for water filtering
"Speaking of tap water, if you choose to go this route, do your research. While tap water is approved for human consumption, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s great for your beer. Depending on your location, there could be any number of additives in the water including chlorine or other disinfectants. These are introduced for the purposes of making the water potable. While that’s great for keeping people safe, it can impart off flavors in the beer, which is never a good thing."

Here's a more in depth and better article below, even,.

Yes you cAn de-chlorify that shit in many ways!
-you can use, someone told me, Campden Tablets (potassium metabisulfite)
You can do some activated carbon filtering or also theres ome more advanced ones out there tpoo.
You can desalinate it, you de-chlorified it when i was a highschool, did a science fair project where i:
-put a big cup with salty water,
- made them taste that shit
-took a small cup (no water in it, to be the non-salty water recipient) suspeneded that in air, inside the bigger cup of salty water
-then i top off the lid by concave-ing it towards the floor or in other words concave-ing it towards the salty water but more immediately the non-salty water cup recipient (the small floaty cup)
-now boil that salt water, eviporates into a condensing stream of pure water into the small cup.
-this method is very expensive power.
im sure theres othewr ways to de-chlorify

Chlorine plus alcohol yields Chloroform, a very serious environmental pollutant.
