Are you saying that my filter is not getting rid of chlorine? The
advertisements claim that it will remove chlorine. But then who really
believes ads.

In any event if it is the water that is contributing to the problem, I
can easily solve that with a 50 cent gallon bottle of distilled water.
In fact that is probably a good practice for working with any kind of
starter, even those employing baker's yeast.

I learn something useful every day on these forums.
